Ajibade Bags Brace As Super Falcons Maul Ethiopia In Olympic Qualifiers
Atletico Madrid’s Rasheedat Ajibade stole the show on Tuesday when the Super Falcons thrashed Ethiopia’s Lucy 4-0 in a Paris 2024 Olympic qualifiers.
The first leg of the tie ended 1-1 in Addis Ababa meaning Nigeria won the encounter 5-1 on aggregate.
While Nigeria dominated proceedings from the onset, it took almost the end of the first half for the girls to find the net. Uchenna Kanu broke the deadlock in the 45th minute. She received a long pass from Tosin Demehin and slotted cooly to finish a fine counterattack for the home team.
On resumption of the second half, it took Nigeria five minutes to double the advantage. FC Barcelona Femeni star Asisat Oshoala floated an inviting cross into the Ethiopia box. Ajibade latched onto it, tapping in from close range to make it 2:0 for the Super Falcons.
We are through to the next round of the #OlympicQualifiers. We await second round winners between Cameroon and Uganda.
