Super Falcons coach, Randy Waldrum has urged his team to be efficient and clinical around the opponents’ vital area and convert their chances into goals following their 2024 Olympic qualifier third round second leg 1-0 win over Cameroon on Monday in Abuja.
Waldrum said this was critical if they intend to beat their South African counterparts to the final round qualification ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Nigeria had several chances to kill the game against Camera in the first half after enjoying a good start to the encounter.
However, poor finishing from Jennifer Echegini, Rasheedat Ajibade, Toni Payne, and Esther Okoronkwo left Nigeria holding on after Cameroon gained the upper hand in the second half.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Waldrum said at his post-match interview:
“In the match we had some chances that we missed and it was a match we really struggled to win.
“You can go back and look at the opportunities that we had. We could have easily finished the game at half time.
“So, we have to be more efficient and clinical around our opponents vital area and convert chances into goals.
“I would have also preferred the match to be played in the night because the weather was hot, but we can’t complain because the players are all Nigerians and are used to it.”
