Super Falcons captain, Rasheedat Ajibade has expressed satisfaction with the team\u2019s performance in the friendly defeat to Canada on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Randy Waldrum\u2019s side fell to a 1-0 defeat against the current Olympic champions.
\nJordyn Huitema scored the winning goal for Canada in the eighth minute following an error by Deborah Abiodun.<\/p>\n
Ajibade said the Super Falcons can head to the 2024 Olympic Games in a buoyant mood despite the defeat.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was not a bad test match, we lost 1-0 but it was not a bad one, we had good moments in the game but we did not utilize our chances,\u201d Ajibade.
\n\u201cYeah, it was a good game to help us prepare ahead of the tournament, so now we know what we need to work on and move forward.
\n\u201cMistakes do happen and that was just it. In this high level of football, when you make mistakes like this against highly experienced players they will always capitalize on any mistake you make,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to be more clinical and disciplined and also make use of the opportunities we get, so yeah, one mistake and that\u2019s it.
\n\u201cIt was a good test match and even though some of the players have not played a high-intensity game in maybe two to three weeks, I think we have gotten our rhythm now and we are building up ahead of the tournament (Olympics).\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
