Defending Champions, the Super Falcons of Nigeria have pounded their Equatorial Guinea counterpart with six unreplied goals to qualify for the 2018 African Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON), semi-finals.

The match, which is the teams’ third leg group one, was played today, Saturday, at the Cape Coast Stadium in Ghana.

A hat-trick from Asisat Oshoala, while Francisca Ordega, Desire Oparanozie and Rita Chikwelu, all scored to help the team to advance to the semi-finals of the 11th AWCON in Ghana.

The result means that the Falcon finished second in the group with 6 points behind South Africa’s Bayana Bayana who played a 1-1 draw with Zambia.

The Falcons had lost their opening Group B match to Bayana Bayana.

In the other group A matches played earlier, Hosts Black Queens of Ghana exited the tournament after a 1-1 draw with Cameroon at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Queens needed to either win or draw their game and hope for a victory for Algeria against Mali to get a ticket to the semi-finals. But Ghana fell off after Algeria lost 3-2 to Mali in the other Group A game played simultaneously in Cape Coast.
