The Super Falcons on Saturday evening, beat their Cameroonian counterparts 2-0, to emerge champions of Africa again.
Desire Oparanozie set the Nigerians on their way to victory, with the first goal in the 12th minute. The striker smashed in a free-kick, to claim her fifth goal of the tournament.
Cameroon’s Enganamount rattled the woodwork in the first half, but it was the Falcons who scored again through Asisat Oshoala.
