Nigeria's Falconets on Friday in Accra, Ghana dumped their Moroccan counterparts in the opening match of the female football of the All African Games by 2-0.

Nigeria made it a bad International Women’s Day for Morocco making them look like minnows (football novices) though the Nigerians missed several scoring chances.

Defending Champions, Nigeria forced Morocco to commit several errors in the first half including an own goal by F. Bambara in the 19th minute and three yellow cards which in football is for caution.

Nigeria got the 2nd goal through A. Yina in the 40th minute before both sides went into recess though the game ended 2-0 in favor of Nigeria in group B.

The result of the other group B match between Senegal and Cameroon was not available as at Press Time.
