Nigeria’s Super Falcons Thursday returned to winning ways after defeating debutants Botswana at the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
After Monday’s faulty start against the Bayana Bayana of South Africa, the Super Falcons beat Botswana 2-0 to get their campaign back on track.
Goals in either half from Ifeoma Onumonu and substitute Christy Ucheibe secured the nine-time champions their first points of the tournament.

Falcons head coach Randy Waldrum made some changes with Chiamaka Nnadozie, Francisca Orgeda, Ngozi Okobi and Toni Payne all starting.
The win means the Falcons go second in Group C and will face Burundi in their last game on Sunday while Botswana face already qualified South Africa.
Moreover, Bayana Bayana Thursday beat their Burundi counterparts 3-1 to top the group with six points.
