Turkish Women’s Cup: Nigeria’s Super Falcons Crush Equatorial Guinea In Final Tie

African champions Nigeria trounced Equatorial Guinea’s Nzalang National 9-0 in their third and final match of the Turkish Women’s Cup competition played at the Emir Sports Complex in Antalya on Tuesday morning.

Captain Asisat Oshoala bagged four of the total with goals in the 11^th, 13^th (penalties), 26^th and 85^th minute, while defender Gloria Ogbonna (8^th minute), Uchenna Kanu (36^th), Charity Adule (38^th), new-girl Toni Oyedupe Payne (43^rd) and Gift Monday (69^th) also weighed in to condemn the two-time African champions to a humiliating defeat.

 Overall, the Nzalang National scored no goal at the tournament, lost all three matches and conceded a total of 16 goals.

The Super Falcons have much to brag about having won all three matches, scoring 11 goals and refusing to allow any goal into their net as goalkeepers Tochukwu Oluehi (against CSKA Moscow and Uzbekistan) and Christy Ohiaeriaku kept things absolutely tight at the rear.

 Defender Gloria Ogbonna opened the floodgates as early as the 8^th minute, before Oshoala, four-time African Woman Player of the Year, netted twice from six yards as the Guineans conceded penalties within two minutes. Oshoala, who was Player of the Tournament and Top Scorer at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Canada in 2014, made it four in the 26^th minute, before former junior international Uchenna Kanu, Charity Adule and Oyedupe Payne ensured a 7-0 half-time lead.

 The Falcons simply cruised in the second half with Gift Monday, in the 69^th and Oshoala with another goal five minutes to the end.
