Completesports.com‘s ADEBOYE AMOSU provides an overview of each player’s performance in the encounter at the Stade Mohamed V, Casablanca.
CHIAMAKA NNADOZIE 7/10
Largely untested in the game. The Paris FC goalkeeper organised her defence well but could do well his ball distribution.
TONI PAYNE 7/10
Another solid showing from the versatile Sevilla star. Started at right-back and was later moved to left-back position.
ONOME EBI 7/10
Led her team with dexterity. Showed she can still compete at the highest level despite her age.
OSINACHI OHALE 7/10
Combined well with Onome Ebi at the heart of the defence. A good showing from the Alaves defender.
ASHLEIGH PLUMPTRE 7/10
Started her second game of the competition. Coped well in an accustomed left-back position.
HALIMAT AYINDE 8/10
The defensive midfielder was a delight to watch. Controlled the midfield and also protected the defence.
CHRISTY UCHEIBE 7/10
Another good showing from the Benfica midfielder. She was replaced by Regina Otu late in the game.
NGOZI OKOBI-OKEOGHENE 8/10
Combined well with Halimat Ayinde and Christy Ucheibe in midfield. She played a key role in Nigeria’s winning goal.
RASHEEDAT AJIBADE 9/10
The girl with the blue hair scored the decisive goal for the Super Falcons and deservedly won the Woman of the Match award.
FRANCISCA ORDEGA 7/10
The winger played well in the game. She was replaced by Uchenna Kanu in the second half.

Obi already book ticket to watch Morocco vs falcon game ..live. vote labour party
Thank you for telling him Chudynak , it’s like he miss road
I think ordega should withdrawn a bit to the midfield to replace rita, as she nolonger have the pace and force to attack,
Ayinde, ngozi, and ordega midfield will provide more maturity and a precise ball distrubution, then a player like alozie, kanu, gift monday, or one of the paynes can join the attack.
This coming wcup will pronounce the super falcons, if oshiola can give us what ajibade is doing already the falcons will go far. I like our diffense and our numerouse wingback in the team, the attack is good to go, but the midfield still need a playmaker to creat more danger, i think either toni payne or ordega should be tried in that role. GOD BLESS Nja
Vote Pablo Escobar. Lol
Ucheibe is class…jezz!! What a player…….she plays with so much confidence…pure talent. Abeg who get her digits
