The Super Falcons on Thursday in
Abuja thrashed Katsina Spotlight Queens 7-0 in a friendly match to prepare for
the 11th All-Africa Games (AAG) holding in Brazzaville, Congo.
The match was played at the
astro-turf pitch of the FIFA Goal Project at the National Stadium.
Alaba Adenusi opened the game with a
goal just a minute into the match, while Alheri Ayuba scored another goal in
the 25th minute.
Ginika Ikeh scored the third goal
four minutes later, followed by the fourth goal by Anam Imo in the 37th minute
of the match.
The Queens made some good offensive
efforts, but none of them was converted into goals.
However, Mercy Amanza scored the
fifth goal for the Falcons in the 54th minute, with Ayuba scored her second
goal some minutes later.
Chinwe Ihezuo closed the game with
the seventh goal in the 88th minute of the match.
Christopher Danjuma, the Head Coach
of the Super Falcons, later told NAN that his players’ performance in the match
was satisfactory.
“Today’s match was satisfactory
because it is not about the goal scoring of the game, but about the tactical
approach.
“Envisaging the type of teams and
games we will be playing in our group in Congo, I should say I am satisfied
with what I saw today.
“Every time we train, we keep
working on all areas, and we work on goal scoring and our reactions,’’ he said.
Danjuma also added that he was
optimistic of the Falcons’ progress at every stage of the competition in Congo.
On his part, coach Aminu Shaibu of
Kastina Spotlight Queens told NAN that the game was a good one for his team in
spite of the massive scoreline.
“If football is all about winning
and losing, therefore the game was a good one for us since the game of football
is about winning and losing.
“My girls did well and since we are
here to prepare the Falcons for the AAG, I am okay with the outcome of the
match.
“We will go back to the drawing
board and work on areas that need improvement,’’ he said.(NAN)
