The Super Falcons of Nigeria delivered an emphatic 5-0 victory over Zambia at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca on Friday, during the ongoing WAFCON 2024 tournament.

During the first half, Nigeria stamped their authority with goals from Osinachi Ohale, Esther Okoronkwo, and Chiwendu Ihezuo, leaving Zambia trailing. The Nigerian team further extended their lead in the second half, courtesy of Tosin Demehin and Folashade Ijamilusi, sealing the 5-0 demolition. In a post-match interview, Nora Häuptle, a Swiss national, conceded that her team was completely outclassed by the nine-time WAFCON champions. “It was a very clear defeat for us.
