Falcons Confident of WAFCON

La Decima After Botswana Pummeling

Super Falcons and Galatasaray central defender, Oluwatosin Blessing Demehin, is confident in Nigeria’s Mission X dream after they secured a 1-0 win against Botswana yesterday.

The 23-year-old has played every minute of the WAFCON 2024 tournament in Morocco, continuing her solid partnership with Osinachi Ohale in the Super Falcons backline.

Demehin played a vital role in the build-up to Nigeria’s late goal at the Stade Larbi Zaouli in Casablanca last night.

Nigeria have now secured a quarter-final berth, and the former Reims defender is confident Justin Madugu’s side can lift their 10th WAFCON competition if they continue the way they’ve started.

“We thank God we’ve qualified for the quarter final. What’s left for us to do is continue progressing,” Demehin told an online publication in her post-game interview.

“In the natural order of things, one comes before two, so we’ll take it game by game.

We just try to focus and keep things compact at the back by following the coach’s instructions.

“We have six games to go. Two down. By the time we get to the sixth one, we’ll be able to accomplish Mission X. Like I said, work in progress,” the Super Falcons defender concluded.

The Super Falcons will play against Algeria in their final group game  tomorrow before finding out their quarter-final opponent.
