Randy Waldrum, the coach of Nigeria, has stated that he will not make significant changes to his team before Sunday’s match against Burundi in the final Women’s Africa Cup of Nations group match.
The Super Falcons defeated Botswana 2-0 on Thursday after losing to South Africa 2-1 in their opening match.
The defending champions must now defeat Burundi in order to guarantee their spot in the quarterfinal.
Ifeoma Onunmou scored the game’s first goal against Botswana in the first half, and substitute Christy Ucheibe added a second goal in the second.
While Waldrum was pleased with his substitutes, he will resist the temptation of tinkering with the team against the Wafcon rookies.
“It is a long tournament. You need to be better every game. This was not the end product; we know we have to build on this as we continue to progress through the tournament.
“It was nice to get some players in but we will not do things in a crazy way. We are not through yet, we still have another result we have to get on Sunday so there will be continued evaluation of all the players,” Waldrum said after the match.
