African Women's Cup of Nations: Nigeria's Super Falcons Squeeze Past Zambia with 1-0 Victory
WAFCON: Super Falcons edge Zambia 1-0/ CREDIT: NFF
nAsisat Oshoala scored the only goal as Nigeria’s Super Falcons returned to winning ways, edging opponents Zambia 1-0 in their second Group C match on Saturday.
nWith Malawi beating Egypt 3-1 earlier, Nigeria could not afford to lose, as that would have meant a group stage exit, and an end to their World Cup hopes.
nOshaola converted in the 8th minute after her initial effort which was saved luckily bounced back onto her feet and went in.
nTheir defensive capabilities were, however, put to the test when Oluwatosin Demehin was shown a straight red card in the 40th minute, and they had to play the remainder of the first half and the entire second half with 10 players.
nThe win takes Nigeria to second with a superior head-to-head and need to Egypt convincingly in their final group stage match to advance to the quarter-finals.
