Nigeria’s U-20 Women National Team, the Falconets played a goal less draw against Sunshine Queens of Akure in a friendly.
The match took place at the Ondo township stadium. It is part of burial activities for Ondo State Governor’s mother in-law, the late Felicia Modupe Adeneyi.
The two teams put on a good fight, with both sides missing scoring chances.
Head coach, Peter Dedevbo, said Sunshine queens played a robust match trying to impress the home crowd.
“I had to advice my girls to play safe to avoid injuries as the world cup draws closer”.
The match he notes is a build up to friendly against the Black Princess of Ghana next month.
“Friendlies will give me the opportunity to experiment on the team’s performance”.
He said the technical crew is not relaxing on the Ondo result, but will intensify preparations for the world cup.
“I must ensure that the team’s training from now on be focused on ball work and the physical build of the players”.
