The Super Falcons of Nigeria are through to the semi-finals of the ongoing Women African Cup of Nations with a comprehensive 5-0 demolition of Zambia at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium.
Recall that Zambia defeated Nigeria by a lone goal in the third place play-off of the last edition making it the first time Nigeria did not win any medal at the WAFCON. Therefore the match was expected to be very explosive.
But as early as the second minute, Osinachi Ohale headed in the opener. Thirty minutes later, Esther Okoronkwo doubled Nigeria’s lead.
On the last minute of the first half Chinwendu Ihezuo scored Nigeria’s third goal when she calmly found the net in front of Zambia’s goalkeeper.
In the second half, the Copper Queens made several efforts to score but Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie was exceptionally good to deny the Zambians.
