Asisat Oshoala was the player of the tournament at the African Women's Championship as Nigeria's Super Falcons won their 7th African Women's Championship after a 2-0 win over the Lionesses of Cameroun in Namibia.
Goals were from Desire Oparanozie and Asisat Oshoala.
The Super Falcons on Saturday evening, beat their Cameroonian counterparts 2-0, to emerge champions of Africa again.
Desire Oparanozie set the Nigerians on their way to victory, with the first goal in the 12th minute. The striker smashed in a free-kick, to claim her fifth goal of the tournament. Cameroon’s Enganamount rattled the woodwork in the first half, but it was the Falcons who scored again through Asisat Oshoala.
Although the Les Lionnes struggled to get something
out of the match played at the scanty Sam Nujoma Stadium in Windhoek, the Falcons held on for glory.
Nigeria has now made African Women Championship history, by claiming their seventh continental crown – the highest in the tournament’s history.
