The forward explained that she was confident in her pace and ability to find the net, adding that the team remained focused on securing all three points from the group-stage encounter.

“What was going through my mind was that I am faster and quicker and can score. The coaches told us that we can do it. They are also girls and young players,” she said.

“We came prepared for this game. The spirit is high. From the camp, we were so determined to get the three points.

“Nigerians should keep believing in us and keep trusting us. I dedicate this win to my teammates. I love you guys and the coaches.

“They should expect more goals from me and good performance.”
