Just-In: Super Falcons Main Goalkeeper Ruled Out Of Nigeria’s Important Opening Match

Super Falcons number one goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie will not be in action on Monda when Nigeria take on the Bayana Bayana of South Africa in the opening Group C match of the ongoing 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations(WAFCON) in Morocco.

The 21-year-old youngster will not feature in arguably the biggest game of the group stage due to a match suspension, after accumulating two yellow cards during the qualification rounds.

The two arch enemies will once again meet at the continental stage in a renewal of rivalry as Super Falcons look to continue their dominance in Africa, having won 9 out of the 11 previous editions of the biennial football showpiece.

Both teams met in the final which ended in a barren draw after regulation and extra time but Super Falcons won 4-3 on penalties to win the title in Ghana.

Bayana Bayana got their revenge three years later, when South Africa defeated Nigeria 4-2 in the final match of the inaugural edition of Aisha Buhari Cup that was held in Lagos.
