All hope of team Nigeria winning a gold medal in women football category at the on going All Africa games is now lost after our falcons got beaten 2-1 in the semi-final by the indomitable lionesses of cameroun yesterday.
Things has been hitherto rosy for our girls as they qualified for the semis without a scratch but alas their toughest test was yet to come, and when it did come...hmm they just couldn't pass it.
The pulsating encounter began with Cameroun scoring twice within three minutes, a situation that had our falcons chasing the game from the start.
Goals from Theresa Abena and Madeleine Ngo Mani in the 10th and 13th minute respectively gave Cameroun the insurance policy while a consolation in the 48th minute by Onome Ebi was all the falcons could muster.
The Super Falcons now face Côte d'Ivoire in the quest for bronze.
