Nigeria have thrashed Equatorial Guinea 9-0 in the 2021 Turkish Women’s Cup. 

Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, and Zambia were invited to the tournament by the Turkish Football Federation.

FC Barcelona star, Asishat Oshoala, was the star of the day after scoring four goals in the humiliating defeat of Equatorial Guinea.

The nine-time African champions rattled the Guinean team with seven goals in the first half with a hat trick from Oshoala and other goals from Onome Ebi, Tony Payne, Adule, and Uchenna Kanu.

The second half began with goal scorers Payne, Kanu, Chuwendu, and Okeke subbed for Gift, Ramat, Esther, and Maryam.

Equatorial Guinea’s keeper, who conceded seven goals in the first half, was subbed in the 63rd minute.

Gift Esther of FC Robo made it 8-0 for the Super Falcons in the 69th minute with only about 20 minutes of normal time to go.

Oshoala then completed her double brace in the 85th minute, making the scoreline an embarrassing 9-0 for the Guineans.

The Super Falcons have now secured three victories while scoring eleven goals, beating Uzbeskitan and CSKA women’s team on 1-0 each.

Ayinde scored the winning goal against Uzbekistan while Oshoala scored against CSKA.
