Eguavoen Targets Olympic Gold for Super Falcons After Victory
Augustine Eguavoen, the interim coach of the Super Falcons, stated that Nigeria has moved past their disappointment in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and is now focused on winning Olympic gold. This statement followed the team's impressive 5-0 victory against Comoros in Ikenne, which secured a 7-0 aggregate win and advanced them to the third round of qualifying against Morocco.
Eguavoen acknowledged the upcoming challenges, noting that the Falcons, ranked number one in Africa, possess the quality and support needed to succeed. He expressed pride in his players' performance, particularly praising Blessing Okpe for her impactful contribution after coming on at half-time.
However, the match was marred by an injury to captain Rasheedat Ajibade, who was taken to the hospital for an MRI scan after a collision. Eguavoen expressed hope that the injury would be minor and commended the team's overall effort.
