Super Falcons Midfielder Rita Chikwelu says she’s so happy to score her first goal of the competition and also impressed that the team is doing well.

Speaking after their training session in Accra, the midfield maestro said the Semi final game against Cameroon won’t be an easy game, but she will give her best to ensure the team makes it to the final.

“I’m so happy I scored my first goal in the African Women Cup of Nations, also happy the team did well in the last game.

Against Cameroon, it will not be easy considering the last final, but we will give our best to ensure we make it to the final of AWCON.”

Chikwelu who got a goal and assist in the last game showered praises to the Nigerian Football Federation for keeping to their words as bonuses are paid in time and this spurred them in giving their all for the team.

“You can see that in the 2nd and 3rd game, the girls were happy for what the NFF had done, before our 2nd game we got all our entitlements and they gave us the support we need, we hope they continue as we will continue to do our best.”

Furthermore, she called for more support from fans, prayers from loved ones to push them to the final and win the trophy.

“My message to Nigerians, is for them to put us in prayers, keep supporting us, also fans from Cape Coast and Accra, as we will not let you down”

The Super Falcons will lock horns against the Lioness of Cameroon on Tuesday by 3:30pm GMT/4:30pm Nigeria time.
