International Friendly: Super Falcons hammer Algeria’s Green Ladies 4-1

The Super Falcons, yesterday, concluded their two-legged international frendlies against Algeria with a 4-1 hammering of the Green Ladies at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, Lagos.

The record African champions had on Saturday in Ikenne beaten the same team 2-0 in the first of the two games billed to prepare the teams for their oncoming engagements.

Yesterday, long-time absentee from the team, Folashade Ijamilusi, was Super Falcons’ star girl, as she bagged a hat-trick in the match.

True to his words, Farid Benstiti’s lasses started with more poise and assurance than they showed in the first game in Ikenne-Remo on Saturday, and on a couple of occasions, carved open opportunities in the Nigerian rear.

However, former junior international Ijamilusi opened scoring for Nigeria after 12 minutes, scoring from a corner-kick, and doubled the lead nine minutes later after latching onto a second ball following Blessing Ilivieda’s effort that cannoned off the crossbar.

Undaunted, the Green Ladies stepped up another gear, and could have reduced the tally in the 39th minute when Nigeria conceded a penalty kick. But Lina Boussaha missed from the spot. Yet, two minutes later, they could have scored with a powerful shot by Laura Muller but goalkeeper Rachael Unachukwu saved.

However, Ouassila Alouache ghosted past the Nigerian defence in the 43rd minute, to slot past Unachukwu for the Algerians’ only goal of the two-match tour.

Determined to retain their two-goal lead, the Super Falcons, who won the first encounter 2-0 with a brace from Captain Rasheedat Ajibade, increased the pressure on their visitors, and Gift Monday netted the third with a powerful header in added time of the first period.
