In football, some fixtures are more than just friendlies, especially when Nigeria meet Ghana .
And when the Super Falcons step on the pitch against the Black Queens, there's rarely a dull moment.
On the eve of the long-awaited 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations , Nigeria sent out a powerful message with a confident 3-1 win over their West African neighbours in a fiery, high-tempo encounter.
With goals from Chinwendu Ihezuo, Asisat Oshoala, and Rasheedat Ajibade , the Falcons showed their depth, experience, and attacking flair.
Ghana , in fairness, played their part and proved they are no longer the soft touch of recent years, but Nigeria's class and structure were ultimately too much.
