Nigeria’s Super Falcons, on Sunday, thrashed their eternal rivals, Black Queens of Ghana, 3-1 in a friendly in Casablanca, Morocco.
The Ghanaians had the first real chance of the game in the 17th minute, but Doris Boaduwaa’s low effort drifted off target.
Nigeria broke the deadlock in the 34th minute when Chiwendu Ihezuo’s shot took a deflection and beat the Ghanaian goalkeeper.
Just before half-time, the Super Falcons were awarded a penalty which Asisat Oshoala calmly dispatched to double the lead.
Captain Rasheedat Ajibade made it 3-0 with a composed finish five minutes after the restart, tightening Nigeria’s grip on the game.
Ghana managed a consolation in the 88th minute when Alice Kusi converted from the penalty spot.
Both teams will now shift their attention to the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, with Nigeria set to face Tunisia in their opening match next Sunday.
The tournament begins on July 5, 2025.
