The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations-bound Nigerian team sailed past Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses in a friendly encounter at the MKO Abiola Sports Complex in Abeokuta on Tuesday.
Captain Rasheedat Ajibade scored both goals—first in the 28th minute from the penalty spot, and then in the 43rd minute after capitalizing on a swift team move, assisted by Rinsola Babajide.
Coach Justine Madugu said the victory is a good psychological boost for his squad as they continue preparations for the 13th Women’s AFCON, taking place in Morocco from 5th to 26th July.
Nigeria will be aiming for a 10th title in the competition, having won the trophy nine times since it was launched as a tournament in 1998.
The Super Falcons also emerged champions in 1991 and 1995, when the competition was staged solely as home-and-away FIFA World Cup qualifying games.
