One of the Cameroonian ladies was trying to get into our goal during a break in the game for a freekick. Our goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, was telling her to go back. Asisat Oshoala saw what was happening and came and physically pushed the Cameroonian back.

While Oshoala was pushing that Cameroonian, another Cameroonian tried to run into our goal, but Chiamaka blocked her. However, the Cameroonian knocked down Chiamaka. Asisat then came and dragged that Cameroonian.

Luckily the lineswoman saw everything. A melee ensued and the lineswoman told the referee about the fact that the Cameroonian knocked down Chiamaka and the referee showed the Cameroonian a red card.

That was the second time that the Cameroonians tried to run into our goal.

Coach Randy Waldrum was asked about the drama in the post match press conference and he said that he doesn't believe in voodoo, so he'll let Deborah Abiodun answer the question.

Deborah Abiodun said (in Yoruba) "Omo ibile ni mi" (meaning, "I am a daughter of the soil). She said that she believes that the Cameroonians were just trying to distract them. She said that she doesn't believe in juju, she believes in God and she believes that the Cameroonians were just trying to distract the Falcons.

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie saves 5th penalty in 8 UWCL matches

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie was the Saviour for Paris FC Women in the UEFA Women's Champions League against BK Hacken.


Nigerian goalkeeping sensation Chiamaka Nnadozie was the heroine again as she saved a penalty to keep Paris FC Feminines’ UEFA Women's Champions League hopes alive.

Nnadozie proved to be the decisive difference maker as the French side held their hosts BK Hacken at home on Wednesday night.

Nnadozie shines for Paris again

The 22-year-old proved why she is the current African goalkeeper of the year with another sensational outing for her club as they remain on course for a place for the next round heading into the final game of the group stage.

Nnadozie denied Rosa Kafaji from 12 yards in the 21st minute in what was her fifth spot-kick save in just eight matches in the Women’s Champions League.

She made two saves against English giants Arsenal Women, and stopped another one against last season's finalists, Wolfsburg before pulling off a fourth save against Liga F giants Real Madrid.

The Super Falcons star’s latest heroics also included six saves, 17 recoveries and 46 touches against Hacken.

Her incredible penalty record has made her one of the most feared keepers in women's football. Nnadozie shootout sorcery leaves opponents dreading stepping up to face her and preserved a precious point for her French side on their European adventure.

With the Super Falcon pulling her weight behind the sticks, Paris go into the last game against Chelsea Women still in contention of a place in the quarterfinal.

Super Falcons beat Ivory Coast 1-0, qualify for women’s AFCON

Sodiq Oyeleke
23 February 2022

Nigeria reached the finals of this year’s Women Africa Cup of Nations Championship after the Super Falcons held out bravely to defeat hosts Lady Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire 1-0 in Abidjan on Wednesday evening. The scoreline meant an aggregate 3-0 win for the nine-time African champions.

The Ivorians threw everything into the return leg encounter at the Stade Robert Champroux but met a steely Nigerian defence and an inspired goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie who would not give an inch.

The game flowed back and forth for large swathes of the first half. Coach Randy Waldrum made two changes to the starting line-up from the first leg, bringing in midfielder Regina Otu and forward Francisca Ordega.

The lively Ordega thought she had given Nigeria the lead halfway into the first period, but the Nigerien referee ruled it out.

In the 34th minute, Nigerien referee Zouwaira Souley awarded a penalty to the homers after judging that Ashleigh Plumptre had tripped an Ivorian striker in the Nigerian area. Goalkeeper Nnadozie saved the shot, and the contact from the same player off the rebound went into side-netting.

The Super Falcons dug their feet into the ground in the second half, refusing to give the Lady Elephants any leeway. Plumptre, Captain Onome Ebi, Osinachi Ohale and Michelle Alozie all held their ground as the Elephants increased their onslaughts.

A minute to the end, Esther Okoronkwo, winning only her second cap for Nigeria, scored the back-breaker that confirmed a 3-0 aggregate win for the Super Falcons.

Victory and qualification for Morocco 2022 was sweet revenge over the Lady Elephants, who bumped the Falcons on the road to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

The Ivorian national broadcaster, Radio Television Ivoirienne (RTI) did not show the match live and so people had to depend on the live stream from the Fédération Ivoirienne de Football (FIF) Facebook page. However, the Ivorian Federation only showed the pre-match formalities and occasions when it seemed like the Ivorians would score. They cut the feed or showed the crowd anytime the Super Falcons had the ball.

(I firmly believe that the Falcons would have beaten the Ivorians in the Olympic qualifiers if the NFF had not blacklisted the captain [Oparanozie] and quarrelled with the coach)

Here's a video of the Ivorian penalty which Chiamaka Nnadozie saved.
