Okoronkwo Says Super Falcons Started Flat in Shock 3-2 Loss to Malawi

Esther Okoronkwo says the Super Falcons started flat in their shock 3-2 defeat to WAFCON debutants Malawi in their opening Group C match. Temwa Chawinga scored twice and Tabitha Chawinga added the third for Malawi. Rasheedat Ajibade and Uchenna Kanu scored Nigeria’s goals. Okoronkwo said the team must learn from the loss and return stronger against Zambia. She also felt a penalty appeal after she was brought down in the box should have been reviewed. Nigeria now need a positive result against Zambia, who opened their campaign with a 6-0 win over Egypt, to keep their quarter-final hopes alive.
