Former Nigerian international Alloy Agu believes the Super Falcons’ doggedness gave the team the vital win against Botswana in the ongoing 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Chinwendu Ihezuo’s 89th-minute lone strike earned the nine-time African champions qualification to the quarterfinal, despite a near-lackluster performance in Casablanca, Morocco.
The victory over Botswana catapulted the Super Falcons to the top of Group B with a maximum of six points, ahead of second-placed Algeria with four points.
Reacting after the game, Agu, who criticized the Super Falcons’ profligacy in front of the goal, however, in a chat with Completesports.com, advised the team to be clinical with every goal-scoring opportunity that comes their way.

“Congratulations to the Super Falcons for booking a quarter-final berth in the ongoing 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. I also praised the players for their doggedness against a Botswana side that frustrated the Super Falcons for most of the game.
“However, the team must learn to convert their goal-scoring chances because they should have scored more goals against Botswana. This is one area I think the coach must look into as the tournament progresses.”
“I wish the players all the best in their remaining matches at the tournament.”
