00:00Ladies and gentlemen, football lovers across Africa, welcome to DF Media Sports.
00:13It's your guy Emmy here, and oh boy, we just witnessed a showdown hotter than Lagos pepper
00:19soup and Akra-Wakia combined.
00:30Match summary.
00:47It's the final WAFCON 2024 warm-up, and the Super Falcons of Nigeria just showed the Black
00:53Queens of Ghana why they've won this tournament nine times.
00:56Final score, Ghana won three Nigeria.
01:00Let's rewind the magic.
01:01Jollof Derby served hot, Super Falcons cooked the Black Queens three to one in final WAFCON
01:06tune-up.
01:07Casablanca, Morocco, June 29th, 2025.
01:11If today's match were a meal, the Super Falcons just served the Black Queens a three-course
01:16buffet of pure class, pace, and precision in the final friendly before WAFCON 2024 kicks
01:22off next week.
01:24Final score, Ghana won the three Nigeria.
01:28Let's break it down, plate by plate.
01:31First, Chiwendo Ihezuo said Unawan Triam with a sweet goal in the 34th minute.
01:38First course, Ihezuo's spice.
01:40The opener came from Chiwendo Ihezuo, who took advantage of a loose Ghanaian backline to calmly
01:46slot the ball home in the 34th minute.
01:49It was the kind of goal that says, we mean business.
01:53Then, Oshawala, cool as you like, buried a penalty just before the break.
01:57Second course, Oshawala's Jollof.
02:00Just before halftime, Asasat Oshawala stepped up with the confidence of a queen and buried
02:06a penalty to make it 2-0.
02:07Smooth, sharp, signature super falcon sauce.
02:11To wrap it up, our captain fantastic Ajibade served the finishing dish with a goal in the
02:1850th.
02:19Dirt, Ajibade's finisher.
02:20It didn't take long after the break for Rashidat Ajibade, the ever-industrious captain, to make
02:27it 3-0, a composed finish from a player who's been setting the tone for this team.
02:32To be fair, Ghana they try.
02:34Their 88th minute strike gave them something to smile about, but by then, the damage was
02:39already done.
02:41Tactical tweaks.
02:42Coach Madugu rotate players like Pepper Sellers at Mile 12 Market, giving minutes to stars like
02:47Ordega and Onumonu.
02:50Coach Madugu used the second half wisely, ringing in changes at the 56 and 76 marks to rest key
02:57legs and test combinations.
02:59In came Ordega, Onumonu, Unachuku, and Echigini, while Oshawala, Ajibade, and Ihezuo got deserved
03:06rests.
03:06Ghana's consolation.
03:08A late goal from the Black Queens was more about pride than comeback, and honestly, they
03:12needed it.
03:13But it didn't dent Nigeria's dominance.
03:17Tactical masterclass.
03:18Nigeria showed structure, speed, and a terrifying ability to transition.
03:23The defense led by Plumptre and Ohale was solid, and Oluihi was unshakable between the
03:28sticks.
03:30Ghana's midfield looked overwhelmed early on and lacked the bite they showed against
03:34Benin.
03:36However, the second half surge shows there'll be no pushovers at Wefcon.
03:40What it means for Wefcon 2024, Nigeria, confidence boost, depth test passed, goals from three
03:47key forwards.

04:07The queens of African football are coming for their throne.
04:11If this was a taste of what's to come at the Wefcon 2024, then Nija fans should be licking
04:16their lips.
04:18The Super Falcons reminded Africa why they are queens of the continent.
04:21Brushing aside Ghana's Black Queens, 3-1 in a sizzling Jollof Derby clash.
