Eguavoen Praises Super Falcons After 2-0 Win Over Comoros

Augustine Eguavoen, the interim head coach of Nigeria's Super Falcons, expressed that the team's 2-0 away victory against Comoros in the first leg of the 2028 Olympic Games second-round qualifier was fully deserved. The Super Falcons, who are 10-time African champions, scored both goals after halftime, with contributions from Michelle Alozie and Uchenna Kanu.

Eguavoen admitted to feeling anxious at halftime due to a goalless first half, despite Nigeria controlling much of the match. He acknowledged that while a draw could have been a fair result, the 0-0 scoreline at halftime was concerning given Nigeria's reputation and quality.

Eguavoen remained confident that his team would score, noting their dominance in the first half. He recognized Comoros' strong performance but affirmed Nigeria's superiority.

The Super Falcons will carry a two-goal advantage into the second leg against Comoros, scheduled to take place at the Remo Stars Sports Complex in Ikenne next Tuesday.
