Nnadozie Happy as Super Falcons Begins WAFCON With Big Win Over Tunisia
Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has expressed her joy after Nigeria’s 3-0 win over Tunisia at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. The victory marks the first time the Super Falcons have won their opening WAFCON match since the 2016 tournament held in Ghana.
Nnadozie, who had little to do during the game thanks to Nigeria’s solid defence, still stood out with her sharp ball distribution from the back. Also, she gave credit to Tunisia, acknowledging that they played well despite the loss.
“I feel really good, it’s a great start for us,” Nnadozie said after the match. “The Tunisians are not a bad team at all, we respect them. They gave a good fight, but today was our day, and we want to keep going like this.”
The match was Nnadozie’s 22nd appearance for the Super Falcons, and she is expected to retain her spot in goal for Nigeria’s next group game against Botswana on Wednesday.
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
