Botswana 0-2 Nigeria: Onumonu and Ucheibe Fire Super Falcons to Victory

After a losing start against South Africa, the reigning African champions bounced back to tame the Mares in Rabat

Nigeria recorded a 2-0 victory over Botswana in a Group C Women’s Africa Cup of Nations encounter on Thursday night.

Goals from Ifeoma Onumonu and super-sub Christy Ucheibe propelled the Super Falcons past the Mares at Stade Moulay Hassan, Rabat.

Still upset by their 2-1 defeat to South Africa in their first match, Randy Waldrum’s side went into the fixture knowing that anything short of a win could dent their ambitions of emerging as African champions for a record 10th time.

Fuelled by this, the West Africans kicked off the game on a bright note as they dominated every department.

With this result, Nigeria moved to second in Group C log behind leaders South Africa.
