Asisat Oshoala flaunts photos in new Super Falcons kits ahead of 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup
Barca Femeni star Asisat Oshoala is absolutely loving the new Nike Super Falcons kit ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia.
For Tuesday's encounter against the 2023 Women's World Cup co-hosts, coach Randy Waldrum maintained the same 11 players that started against Haiti, with Asisat Oshoala and Rasheedat Ajibade featuring.
New Zealand's Ferns started the game on the brighter side, but goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie pulled off saves to deny the Island nation an early lead.
Nigeria's first attempt in the game came off Ajibade in the 21st minute of the game, but her attempt narrowly missed the goal. Twelve minutes later, Onome Ebi gave the Super Falcons the lead with a header off a corner kick.
The second half saw Waldrum's team start the game early, with Jennifer Onyi Echegini getting onto the end of Michelle Alozie's cross to double the lead.
After coming on as a substitute for Esther Okoronkwo in the 50th minute, it took Desire Oparanozie 44 minutes to put her name on the scoresheet, finishing finely with virtually the last kick of the game.
What next?
The team will look to continue their preparations ahead of the world tournament kicking off on July 20.
