Nigeria's women’s senior national team remains a strong force in African football despite losing to Ghana 1-0 in Sunday’s African Women’s Cup of Nations qualifier, according to coach Samson Unuanel.
The Super Falcons took a two-goal advantage to Accra for the first round second leg qualifier, but they were caged by Merce Tagoe’s Black Queens with Princella Adubea scoring the only goal.
Despite the result, the reigning African queens advanced to the next round of qualifiers for Morocco 2022 Awcon.
The loss to Ghana has continued to generate contrasting opinions from the football sphere, with some claiming Randy Waldrum’s women are the best on the continent at the moment.
Nonetheless, the former Sunshine Stars and Enyimba tactician feels otherwise: “Other teams in Africa are really working very hard to dethrone Nigeria,” Unuanel told Goal.
