Falcons ready to feast on Ethiopia

BY JACOB AJOM
The national Women’s football team, the Super Falcons will today take on Ethiopia in the second group match of the 2013 African Women Championships going on in Equatorial Guinea. The match comes up 5.30 p.m in Bata.

The two teams will battle to win the encounter as the outcome would go a long way in determining their progress in the tournament. For Ethiopia it is a must win because a loss would definitely mean the end of the road in their quest for a first continental trophy.

The Abyssinian women lost their first match 5-0 to Cote d’Ivoire who are due to meet Cameroon before the Nigeria/Ethiopia match.

Even as he has said the Nigerian team will not underrate the Ethiopians, Coach Khadiri Ikana will be under less pressure as his girls recorded a hard-earned 2-1 victory over the Indomitable Lionesses in their opening group game Monday.

But the Ethiopians who have recorded tremendous growth in their game will not be taken lightly. Coach Ikhana said “we will not underrate them because football is not mathematics.
