Nigeria’s
women football team, the Super Falcons, confirmed their supremacy, at
least on the African continent, with a 2-0 win over the Namibian
national team. This followed its 7-0 victory over the Namibian team two
weeks ago in Abuja. The Nigerian ladies thus won the tie 9-0 on
aggregate. The team paraded an array of locally-based players as the
technical crew continue to work on it, in preparation for the 2011 FIFA
Women’s World Cup kicking off in June in Germany.

Though the Brave
Gladiators, as the Namibian team is known, tried their best, the
Falcons scored through Ebere Orji and a penalty converted by Stella
Mbachu, both in the first half.

Reports on
namibiasport.com.na, concede that the Falcons were vastly superior to
the home team and that they dominated the match throughout the 90
minutes of play. In the whole of the first half, the ball hardly
entered the Falcons’ area. The Namibians were forced to play
defensively as forays by Falcons attackers overwhelmed the hosts.

The Nigerians
scored the first goal when Orji took advantage of a fumble by the
Namibian defence in the 20th minute to slot the ball past the Namibian
goalkeeper, Sussana Eises. The second goal was a penalty when
Gladiators’ defender, Rejoice Kasaona, handled the ball in the box.
Falcons’ Mbachu sent Namibian goalkeeper, Sussana Eises, the wrong way
and it was game over.

The start of the
second half was almost marred by heavy rain, which seemed to invigorate
the Namibian side. The Gladiators threw everything into attack, to at
least get a goal. The onslaught was led by pint-sized striker Juliana
Skrywer. The rain however made play more difficult on a bumpy pitch. As
a result the Namibians committed more errors.

The Falcons had beaten the Namibian team 10-1 on aggregate in their
last meeting. The Falcons are billed to face the winner of the
Equatorial Guinea versus Cameroun tie.
