Veteran Sports Commentator, Mr. Shina Abimbola, has hailed the Super Falcons’ thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women Africa Cup of Nations as a true reflection of Nigeria’s championship pedigree in African women’s football.
Speaking in a telephone interview with Pensioners FM Correspondent , following the dramatic win in Rabat, Mr. Abimbola praised the Nigerian team for showing resilience, experience, and grit to overcome the host nation and lift the trophy for a record tenth time.
He said despite a shaky first half, the Super Falcons rose to the occasion.
Reflecting on the broader competition, he noted that South Africa posed the only serious challenge in the tournament but still could not derail Nigeria’s quest for their tenth title.
Mr. Abimbola described some of the tactics employed by Moroccan fans during the match, particularly the use of floodlights to distract Nigerian players as home advantage.
