African Women’s Championship (AWC) 2012 – Super Falcons Book Semi Final Ticket


Stella Mbachu

Six – time champions and current cup holders, the Super Falcons of Nigeria, on Thursday beat their Ethiopian counterparts 3 – 0 in their second match of the on going African Women’s Championship (AWC) in Equitorial Guinea.

A goal before the half hour mark by Esther Sunday and two second half strikes by veterans Stella Mbachu and Perpetua Nkwocha ensured  victory for the West Africans.

The East Africans should have centre referee Maximina Bernado to thank for disallowing two more late goals scored by Nigeria, which many see as questionable decisions.

The Falcons take on Cote D’ Ivoire in their last group game on Sunday.
