WAFCON: Super Falcons edge Zambia 1-0, <\/p>\n

Asisat Oshoala scored the only goal as Nigeria\u2019s Super Falcons returned to winning ways, edging opponents Zambia 1-0 in their second Group C match on Saturday.<\/p>\n

With Malawi beating Egypt 3-1 earlier, Nigeria could not afford to lose, as that would have meant a group stage exit, and an end to their World Cup hopes.<\/p>\n

Oshaola converted in the 8th minute after her initial effort which was saved luckily bounced back onto her feet and went in.<\/p>\n

Their defensive capabilities were, however, put to the test when Oluwatosin Demehin was shown a straight red card in the 40th minute, and they had to play the remainder of the first half and the entire second half with 10 players.<\/p>\n

The win takes Nigeria to second with a superior head-to-head and need to Egypt convincingly in their final group stage match to advance to the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
