The Super Falcons of Nigeria have qualified for the 2018 African Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON).
The senior female team sealed the qualification after an emphatic 6-0 victory over Gambia in their second leg clash at the Agege Stadium on Monday.
Desire Oparanozie was in ruthless form as she netted four goals for the eight-time African champions while Asisat Oshoala scored a brace.
Coach Thomas Dennerby’s charges opened the scoring in the third minute when Oparanozie slotted home from the penalty spot after Francisca Ordega had been impeded in the box.
Asisat Oshoala doubled the lead for Nigeria a few minutes before half time.
Oparanozie, former Rossyanka star, added her second and Nigeria’s third after the break. She netted the fourth right before the 70th minute mark while Oshoala completed her brace with a brilliant solo effort.
The unstoppable Oparanozie closed shop with her fourth goal of the game and the Falcons’ sixth of the one-sided affair.
