The Super Falcons delivered a ruthless performance in their Women’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter‑final, dismantling Zambia 5‑0 in Casablanca to secure a place in the semi‑finals. Osinachi Ohale opened the floodgates with a header from Esther Okoronkwo’s free-kick in just the 2nd minute. Okoronkwo herself netted the second with a composed strike in the 33rd minute, before Chinwendu Ihezuo capitalised on a defensive error to add the third just before half-time.
The second half saw Tosin Demehin rise to head in Nigeria’s fourth in the 68th minute, while substitute Folashade Ijamilusi sealed the emphatic victory in stoppage time with a tap-in from Ajibade’s cross. Remarkably, the Falcons have yet to concede in this tournament, underscoring their all-round dominance.
Following this triumph, Everton’s women’s team extended congratulations to Toni Payne and the Super Falcons for their outstanding display highlighting the international impact of Nigeria’s star players.

We note the blend of experience and youth defenders like Ohale and Demehin showing aerial dominance, while attackers such as Ihezuo and Ijamilusi showcased clinical finishing. The tactical rotations orchestrated by coach Justine Madugu proved masterful, keeping the squad fresh and dynamic throughout.
It is fitting that Everton Women Payne’s club saluted the team. That acknowledgement highlights the reach of Nigerian talents across global football. Toni Payne’s recognition hints at the pride and unity radiating from this national side.
Next up, the Falcons face South Africa or Senegal. Our belief is simple: this team is not just winning matches—they are crafting a compelling journey filled with purpose and precision. Their sights are now set firmly on “Mission X”.
