The Super Falcons coach Randy Waldrum has thumped up the strike partnership between Asisat Oshoala and Desire Oparanozie as the Nigeria national women’s team continues their build-up to Australia and New Zealand, who will jointly host the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Oshoala and Oparanozie were both in action on Good Friday, as the Falcons recorded a 2-1 win over Haiti. While the former was a starter, the latter came in as a 65th-minute replacement for Esther Okoronkwo.
Speaking on NFF TV after the victory in Antalya, Turkey, Waldrum said he was happy to see the veteran forwards combine nicely, even as he suggested Oshoala and Oparanozie were unlucky not to combine and get a goal in the latter stages of Friday’s tie against Haiti.
