NIGERIA’S Super Falcons should not expect an easy game when they file out today against Kenya at the ongoing 10th Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) in Limbe, Cameroon, as the coach of the Harambee Starlets, David Ouma, says his players are bent on making a statement.
The match holds simultaneously with the other group B game between the Black Queens of Ghana and the Malian Ladies in Yaounde.
Nigeria top the group with four points and plus six goals advantage ahead of their West African rivals, Ghana, also with four points and two goals advantage.
However, Ouma insists that the Starlets will play for pride despite losing their first two games 1-3 to Ghana and Mali respectively to crash out of the competition.
“We are the first casualty and have not met our target in our maiden appearance at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
“Our aim is to take the most from every game. We still have a game against Nigeria and there is nothing like resting key players.
“The players who are fit will play against Nigeria. We have to throw in what we have in the last game,” Ouma told cafonline.com.
Meanwhile, Coach of the Falcons, Florence Omagbemi said the focus remains how to top the group.
“I’m looking forward to the game with Kenya and get a good result. We just want to play convincingly against Kenya and hopefully top the group,” said Omagbemi, who captained Nigeria to win the 1998, 2000 and 2002 AWCON titles.
