Revelation Cup: Super Falcons seek redemption against Colombia
The Super Falcons will be looking to redeem themselves when they face Colombia on Saturday (today) at the invitational Revolution Cup in Leon, Mexico.
Falcons suffered a sixth straight defeat under American coach Randy Waldrum in their opening fixture of the tourney last Wednesday.
Mexican Kiana Palacios was the heroine of the clash as she grabbed the match winner in the 85th minute for the only goal of the game.
The last time Super Falcons won a game was against Cameron at the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.They crashed out of that tournament at the semi final stage.
Speaking ahead of the game, Waldrum who will be without Asisat Oshoala for the encounter believes his side will learn from the defeat, fans of the team have expressed their doubts following the team’s display in recent games.
Oshoala is currently the top scorer in the Spanish women’s league with 17 goals from 18 games for Barcelona Femení side this season.
Uzoanya Okechukwu tweeted, “I’m not surprised with you guys performance against Mexico with Randy Waldrum. As usual with Randy we aren’t going anywhere.”
It’s always disappointing when you concede late in any game. We will learn from this defeat and prepare for our next game.”
His Mexican counterpart, Pedro Ramos, said his team had enormous respect for the Nigerian players
