Flying start from the Super Falcons against the Zambians. Ohale puts Nogeria 1 goal up within 2 minutes of kick-off. Who says the SF can’t convert their chances? Still a long way to go and the SF must stay focused and disciplined all through.
It’s great to see Madugu’s instructions, directions and decisions yield fruit.
His 4-3-3 direction caused Plumptre to overlap and pass to one of the 2 attacking midfielders in Ajibade who obeyed Madugu’s instructions to pick out Okoronkwo with a glorious long ball.
The decision to play Okoronkwo from the start would pay dividends as she would chest down and blast home for Nigeria’s second goal.
Nigerian coaches have always been a fan of the out-of-date ugly route-one football.
Well today, it is truly heartwarming to see Madugu’s Falcons execute route one to perfection with goalkeeper Nnadozie locating Ihezuo to stab home for Nigeria’s 3rd.
Well done Madugu!
I remember saying last week that, when the opponents come out to play football, Madugu’s methods will thrive!
Fantastic first half for us.
But it would be a mistake to take our foot off the pedal! Zambia can come back.
But I’m confident we can see this through. The same defense that kept Lauren James of England and other top strikers quiet at the last world cup is holding up well today.
The only way to stop this Madugu tutored Super Falcons is to shut up shop and pack the bus like Tunisia, Algeria, Botswana did in the group stages.
In those group stages matches, Nigeria create copious goal scoring chances like pure water. But with all 11 opposition players defending, even England Lionesses would struggle against those opponents.
Nigeria can still lose this match if the Super Falcons and their coach bite on the ampoules of carelessness and complacency.
What is required now is cutting edge games-management to see out this match or else they will snatch failure from the jaws of success.
Zambia dey collect wotowoto.
Banda and Kunandaji, where unu dey? Super Falcons dey give dem wotowoto.
For a whole African player of the year to be collecting like dis? E get as e be ooo! Banda, sorry ooo! Epele ooo!
Please can somebody help us to tell de rusty coppers of Zambia to go back to de training field and do some more training- and remind dem dat football is not the debating society and neither is it poetry- it is not played or won with mouth – too much talk nor dry full basket
Dem shout shout say dem go nearly kill 9ja , de manager talk say dem ready to die on the pitch, Bros banda tslk say him go show 9ja pepper na so so gbas, gbos we hesr ftom dem mouth – but las las na 5-nil dem chop LMAAOO!
Oya next!!
Another classic 4-3-3 trope saw Ajibade, the furthest forward attacking midfielder, sliding it across for the left winger Ijamilusi to put the icing on the cake for 5, let that sink in, 5:0.
Absolutely sensational from the Super Falcons! A 5–0 dismantling of Zambia wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. For all the talk about Barbara Banda and Kundananji, they were completely neutralized. And it finally became clear to all why players like Okoronkwo, and Ihezuo should never have been “impact players”—they are the impact, right from the blast of the whistle.
Coach Madugu deserves credit this time. He read Zambia’s overreliance on long balls and star forwards, and preemptively defused their only weapon. This wasn’t just tactics—it was a masterclass in learning from past mistakes.
The group stage showed how difficult it is to break down a low block, but this time, Zambia dared to play and paid dearly for it.
I said it in one of my previous posts: take away Banda and Kundananji, and you’ve taken away Zambia. The Super Falcons did just that, while showcasing our best attacking combo yet. It wasn’t even close. The goals were clinical, the press was relentless, and the defensive line looked impenetrable. My confidence going into this match wasn’t misplaced—it was prophetic.
And now, as we likely prepare for South Africa, the message is loud and clear: Nigeria is back to collect what’s hers. The sleeping giant is no longer yawning—she’s sprinting, scoring, and sending shivers down the continent.
Because when the Super Falcons play like this, it’s not just football—it’s a warning. Glory!

Madugu is proving to be a tactical genius.
