Super Falcons Dominate Comoros 5-0 in Olympic Qualifiers

On October 14, Nigeria's Super Falcons triumphed over Comoros with a 5-0 victory at Remo Stars Stadium, completing a 7-0 aggregate win in the second leg of the CAF Women’s Olympic qualifying series. The Falcons, who held a 2-0 lead from the first leg, showcased their dominance with Toni Payne and Uchenna Kanu each scoring two goals.

Midfielder Christy Ucheibe added a penalty goal, further emphasizing the team's superiority. Despite the impressive win, the match was overshadowed by an injury to captain Rasheedat Ajibade, who had to leave the game early, causing concern for the coaching staff ahead of upcoming matches.

Folashade Ijamilusi replaced Ajibade and, along with Blessing Okpe, contributed significantly to the team's attacking efforts. This victory propels the Super Falcons into the third round of qualifying, where they will face Morocco as they aim for the 2028 Olympic Games.
