The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has described the 10-0 whitewash by the Falconets over their Sierra Leone counterparts in the U-20 Women World Cup qualifier first leg match as spectacular, but warned the team not to take anything to chance as they approach the second leg tie slated to hold in Freetown in two weeks' time.
Speaking shortly after watching the Falconets pummel their West African neighbours at the weekend in Abuja, Chairman of NFF's technical committee, Barr Chris Green, said the team was still work in progress as they would remain in camp ahead of their next encounter.
"The team is just work in progress. They just started and spent three weeks in camp to produce this kind of result which is highly commendable. It's very inspiring and encouraging to us. They will stay more in camp because the level we want them to attend they have are not there yet," Green said.
But the team's coach, Peter Dedevbo, was quick to disagree saying "the second leg is just for us to go and wrap it up. With this victory, the team will play better. This is the first time the team was playing a match of this nature. I knew they will win but I wasn't expecting as many as 10 goals.
"Going to Sierra Leone for the second leg is a mere formality, however, I will continue to work on any area of their deficiencies in order to make them stronger for tougher challenges ahead".
Well that would prepare them well for subsequent games. Very great one i must confess
