Nigeria 5 – Cameroun 0 The Nigerian female football team, the Super Falcons proved how super they could be with a 5-0 annihilation of Cameroun. The goals started pouring in the 15th minute when Perpetual Nkwocha curled in a superb free-kick from the edge of the box, reminiscent of the wonder free-kick Austin Okocha scored against the same Cameroun in the African Nations cup, Tunisia 2004.
The second goal came in the 35th minute as master dribbler, Vera Okolo dribbled her way down the right flank to release a low cross for Perpetua Nkwocha who needed just a simple tap in to score. Perpetua Nkwocha again made it 3 in the 40h minute as another run down the right flank by Cynthia Uwak was again connected home by the leggy striker.
The first half ended with Nigeria taking a comfortable 3-0 lead but the tally was increased in the 59th minute as the same Perpetua Nkwocha curled in a wonderful shot inside the Camerounian vital box after Vera Okolo had wonderfully displaced two Camerounian defenders, much to the admiration of the Nigerian fans who had all along singled her out as the female maradona. Vera Okolo herself got the last goal in the 80th minute as Perpetua Nkwocha this time turned the provider, releasing a low cross across the goal line after out-running her marker from the right flank.
