Super Falcons’ Ohale named player of the match against Australia

Nigeria’s Osinachi Ohale emerged as the standout player of the match after the Super Falcons secured a thrilling 3-2 victory against Australia at Lang Park, Brisbane on Thursday.

The experienced centre-back played a crucial role in Nigeria’s triumph, and she showcased her scoring prowess by netting the team’s second goal in the enthralling five-goal encounter.

Ohale’s goal came from a close-range header, capitalizing on a well-timed nod from McKenzie Arnold, who redirected Asisat Oshoala’s header into her path.

This impressive strike marked a significant milestone for the 31-year-old, as it was only her second-ever international goal for the nine-time African champions.

Having made 31 appearances for the Super Falcons, Ohale’s experience and defensive prowess have been vital assets for the national team.

Notably, goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie had earned the Player of the Match award in the Super Falcons’ first game against Canada, underscoring the team’s collective talent and determination in the ongoing 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

With this notable victory against Australia, the Super Falcons are gaining momentum and confidence as they progress further in the tournament. Osinachi Ohale’s stellar performance is a testament to the team’s dedication and skill, making her a crucial player in Nigeria’s quest for success in the prestigious competition.
