2024 WAFCONQ: Ajibade reflects on Super Falcons’ big win over Cape Verde
Stand-in captain Rashidat Ajibade mentioned the Super Falcons should proceed to work onerous regardless of Thursday’s complete win towards Cape Verde.
The Falcons defeated fellow West Africans 5-0 within the first leg of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.
Uchenna Kanu and Esther Okoronfuko every scored two objectives, whereas Gift Monday scored the objective.
Cape Verde might want to rating six objectives with out conceding within the come-from-behind match to stop the Super Falcons from qualifying for the 2024 WAFCON finals hosted by Morocco.
Ajibade mentioned they have to stay grounded regardless of the primary leg end result.
“As coach said, it’s still a work in progress and we have to build on this place where we stopped today. It’s not our best game. We’re not setting standards for ourselves. I can only continue to build on this standard because I can get even better,” the Atletico Madrid star advised reporters.
Without some key gamers, interim head coach Justin Madugu has been pressured to introduce a number of younger gamers to the crew.
Ajibade emphasised the significance of getting a mixture of younger and skilled gamers within the crew.
“It is very important to have young players in the team, but also experienced players, because sometimes experience outweighs youth. Both young and experienced players are on the pitch. And it really helps,” she added.
The second leg is scheduled to happen subsequent Tuesday on the Estadio Nacional de Cape Verde in Praia.
