Hello guys, how are you all doing? I hope you are doing great and your weekend is going smoothly? I guess so.
Okay guys, today I will be diverting a little bit from my usual male Champion League, Premier League, and European League and will be looking into the female World Cup match
Not just because I am a woman but because am a Nigeria as well and it is good to see the Women in Nigeria doing well in the pitch even though I am not much of a player and that s because I am afraid of been hit by the ball or getting a kick on my body that will hurt me so badly.
So, just yesterday, Thursday, February 18, 2021, the Super Falcons of Nigeria beat CSKA Moscow Ladies 1-0 in their first game in the Gold City tournament in Turkey at the Emir Sports Complex in Antalya.
Their performance was really an amazing one that their head coach was happy with their performance against CSKA Moscow. Even though the Russian women were tough ones, they still could not get a hold of the Nigerian women and their defense which left their head coach happy and in a happy mood.
The Nigeria Super Falcons women were really good at dominating the game and putting the Russian women in panic which made Moscow women put pressure on the Nigeria team and regardless of the fact that they've had three straight wins, the Super Falcon women still beat the CSKA Moscow women in the game.
It is also a good one that it is their head coach's first match and first win in the game since his appointment into NFA. It was indeed a great win for the Super Falcons. Although it is a good sign that things might go well for the team, we can't use their score to assess how much of a good coach Randy is.
Chiwendu Ihezuo made the game a successful one and I say a big Congratulations to women and I hope they continue winning. Asisat Oshoala really did a great job leading the team yesterday even though she couldn't win and Onome Ebi also isn't left out in the praise.
Tony Payne the United States born but to Nigerian parents, did a great job yesterday on the pitch as she made close and good attempts to score before the break twice but unluckily the Moscow defenders did a great job depriving her of her wins and that would have earned the Super Falcons woman a number of goals but at least getting a 1 goal and many attempts to win is better than losing or not getting a goal with several attempts to win but loosing.
This win against CSKA Moscow puts them in the second position in the group and they will be having a second game which will be taking place on Saturday against Uzbekistan. Let's hope they don't relent effort and keep on with this winning formula. It will surely be a successful one for them in the end.
