The super falcons of Nigeria has defeated their Cameroonian lioness by two goals to nil, at the international friendly played at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena, Abeokuta on Tuesday.
Captain Rasheedat Ajibade scored in nineteen minutes through a penalty after being brought down by a Cameroonian defender.
In the fourty third minutes, Ajibade coolly converted from a beautiful assist from the left flank by Babajide Omorinsola to record a brace.
The Cameroonians fought hard in the second half but the solid defence marshaled by the duo of Payne Antoinette and Isah Sikiratu were too good to allow any goal.
In other news, Nigeria needed penalties to see off Jamaica in the final of this year’s Unity Cup on Saturday.
The game had ended 2-2 in regulation time.
Moses Simon opened the scoring with a fine finish off Cyriel Dessers’ cross, but the Raggae Boys levelled almost immediately through Kaheim Dixon.
The Super Eagles again went in front, thanks to a fantastic solo effort from Samuel Chukwueze.
Again, Jamaica found an equalizer, with Jon Russell finding the back of the net in the 63rd minute.
This win means that Nigeria win the trophy for the second consecutive time.
