The Falconets, Nigeria's women's football team, are poised to defend their gold medal at the African Games after securing a spot in the final by defeating Uganda 2-0. Despite a challenging first half, the team dominated possession but struggled to breach Uganda's defense.
However, in the second half, Nigeria made two strategic substitutions, with Adaobi and Okwuchukwu coming on to score in the 74th and 89th minutes respectively, securing the victory.
With this win, the Falconets are now in prime position to replicate their 2019 success and claim gold once again. They await the winner of the match between Ghana and Senegal in the showdown.
