In a thrilling encounter at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja, the Super Falcons emerged victorious against Cameroon, securing their place in the last round of CAF qualifiers for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The Nigerian national women’s team secured a narrow 1-0 win over the Indomitable Lionesses, advancing with a 1-0 aggregate scoreline after a goalless draw in Douala last Friday.
The decisive moment came in the first half when Esther Okoronkwo found the back of the net following a brilliant play by Jennifer Echegini down the left flank. Echegini skillfully navigated the defense, reaching the byline before delivering a precision-cut back to Okoronkwo, who made no mistake in slotting the ball home.
The victory marks a significant achievement for the Super Falcons, positioning them just two matches away from qualifying for the 2024 Olympics. The team displayed resilience and determination throughout the match, ultimately securing their place in the next stage of the qualifiers.
As the Falcons celebrate their triumph, they now await the outcome of other qualifiers taking place across Africa on Monday to determine their last opponents in the upcoming rounds. The journey to the Olympics continues, and the Super Falcons are poised for the challenges that lie ahead.
