Super Falcons Thursday evening at the Abuja Goal Project pitch walloped an Abuja-based women division league side, Capital City Doves FC by 8-0 in a test game.
Chiwendu Ihezuo opened scoring in the 20th minute and got her brace in the 30th minute of the game dominated by the Super Falcons. Uchechi Sunday made it three in the 32nd minute and the score line remained like that at interval.
In the second stanza the Falcons brought an entire set of girls and as early as the second minute of the restart Yetunde Adeboyejo made it four before Asisat Oshoala got her hatrick in the 52, 67 and 70th minutes and Chioma Wogu completed the rout in the 71st. Not even the introduction of Desire Oparanozie who arrived from Turkey Thursday afternoon in the 80 min could add to the scoreline as Falcons frittered several chances
It was Falcons first test game against a female team as they had previously been playing male sides that the coaches believed would toughen them and give them pace.
“The match is a good test for my girls in terms of helping them build their confidence. We have been playing boys for pace and strength, this match is meant to build on their confidence” Coach Okon stated.
