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.
Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic speaks on the World Cup and shares his thoughts on who could possibly win the FIFA World Cup 2026.
He spoke about the players who are performing really well and carrying their teams.
“Harry Kane, he did three things. Two goals and one run he did. We talk about Messi for Argentina, France with Mbappe, but they have other superstars also. Sir Harry Kane is England, and the way he performed today, he needs to continue like that if this England is going to have a chance.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
