There were a few notable things in the game worth
highlighting.
Allnigeriasoccer.com here presents four observations from
the match at the Emir Sports Complex, Antalya, Turkey.
The Super Falcons had great buildups especially from from
the wings and caused the Caribbeans' full backs all sorts of problems in
defence.
Speed, trickery and invention were in their repertoire.
Despite the attacking threats of the Super Falcons, their
backline was not particularly impressive.
They were carved open by the nippy Haitians especially in
the first half and that paid off albeit too little. Haiti pulled one back in
the closing minutes of the contest after they profited from a defensive mix up.
For all their nice play from the back and the wings, the end
products would need to be much better.
The Super Falcons had several goal scoring chances but
missed a whole lot of them.
Asisat Oshoala and Rasheedat Ajibade in particular were
presented with lots of chances but were not precise enough to further punish
the Haitians.
Despite their defeat, the Haitians showed some promises and
could be a force to reckon with in the coming years.
The team may not have the star names like their Nigerian
opponents but their team play and attitude were impeccable.
Towards the end of the game, Haiti came close to a leveler
but struck the woodwork, with goalkeeper Nnadozie beaten. Luckily Nigeria edged
it for a 2-1 win.
