Super Falcons skipper Rasheedat Ajibade revealed that Zambia’s pre-match comments fired up the Nigerian team ahead of their crushing 5-0 win in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigeria were ruthless on Friday, dismantling a Zambian side that had impressed many during the group stage with solid performances against Morocco, Senegal, and DR Congo.
Before the clash, much of the spotlight had been on Zambia’s attacking stars, Barbara Banda and Rachel Kundananji. But the Falcons shut down the hype with a commanding display that left no room for doubt.
Speaking after the game, Ajibade admitted that all the talk leading up to the match didn’t go unnoticed. “We heard everything they were saying. It gave us that extra push,” she said.
