WAFCON 2024: Nigeria defeats Zambia 5-0 to reach the semi-finals
In the final round of the tournament, Zambia defeated Nigeria in a third-place match, but the Super Falcons coach claimed Friday’s victory was not retaliation.
We didn’t consider it to be a revenge mission for us.
Instead, the gaffer said, “We needed to win it to move on to the next round of the competition.”
“Yes, because we lost out to them in the third place match in the previous edition, and we have now won,” which is quite gratifying. We anticipated a win, though probably not the score line. And we had that in mind.
The scoreline may be flattering, but we still came out on top, and we knew we had the players with the necessary skills and that the players were already prepared.
Nigeria now has four matches to play without conceding a goal, which is a record for the tournament’s 13th semi-final appearance.
Additionally, it ensured that the Super Falcons won the championship’s 13th semi-final game.
