Defender Michelle Alozie of the Super Falcons highlighted her team's readiness after a 10-man victory over Zambia, attributing their success to the lessons learned from their 3-2 loss to Malawi. In the crucial match, Alozie was named Player of the Match despite playing with only 10 players from the 40th minute. Despite Tosin Demehin's red card, Asisat Oshoala's goal ensured Nigeria's title defence continued.
Alozie praised her team's resilience, acknowledging Zambia's formidable reputation as fast, physical, and technical. The win has moved Nigeria to three points from two matches, positioning them favorably for the quarter-finals. Malawi topped Group C with six points after defeating Egypt 3-1, while Zambia secured second place with three points.
Nigeria trails Egypt, who have no points. Nigeria must now secure a convincing win against Egypt and hope for a favorable outcome in the simultaneous Egypt versus Malawi match to advance.
