The Super Falcons came from a two-goal deficit to defeat the Atlas Lionesses of Morocco 3-2 to win the title for the 10th time.

The community, under the auspices of the Nigeria Union South Africa (NUSA), said in a statement on Sunday that the team showed the typical Nigerian fighting spirit to win the title.

” The Super Falcons were composed, focused and determined to win the game,” the statement signed by NUSA President, Smart Nwobi, said.

” It is not easy for a team to come from two goals down and win, especially against a home team,” Nwobi, a lawyer, said.

Nwobi also said Nigerians in South Africa were proud of the Super Falcons for accomplishing the Mission X feat.

” We join Nigerians to congratulate the Super Falcons for this feat.

” We also advise that preparations for the defence of the title should commence immediately.

” You will understand that the standard of women football in Africa has improved.

” This implies that opposition will be stronger in future tournaments,” he said.

NUSA also congratulated the Banyana Banyana of South Africa who finished fourth for winning the fair play trophy.(NAN)(www.nanews.ng)
