Olympic Qualifiers: Oshoala-inspired Super Falcons Thrash Ethiopia To Set Up Clash With Cameroon’s Lionesses

By Sedara Philip

Asisat Oshoala scored one and set up two goals as the Super Falcons cruised to a 4-0 victory against the Lucy of Ethiopia in Abuja on Tuesday night.

The Super Falcons dominated the 2024 Olympic Games second round, second leg contest but fought hard to break down the visitors in the first half.

The breakthrough came on the dot of 45 minutes with Uchenna Kanu slotting the ball into the net.

The second half was a one-sided affair with the Super Falcons totally dominating.

Oshoala dribbled past her marker to set up Rasheedat Ajibade for Nigeria’s second five minutes after the break.

Oshoala got her name on the scoresheet on 68 minutes after she was teed up by Kanu.

Ajibade netted her second of the game four minutes later with Oshoala providing the assist again.

Victory means the Super Falcons will now meet the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon, who overturned a 2-0 defeat in Kampala to defeat Uganda 3-0 after extra time in Yaounde on Tuesday night.
