By Daily Sports on November 5, 2016

Chioma Wogu's strike handed the Nigeria's senior women   a 1-0 victory over  the Nigeria U20 women team  in a friendly match played at the practice pitch of the National Stadium, Abuja.

Both sides went int the encounter needing a win to boost their morale ahead their respective competition.

Papua New Guinea bound Falconets are getting set for the Fifa U20 Women's World Cup, while the Super Falcons hope to defend their Africa women's Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

Wogu's sublime volley in the 43rd minute made the difference as Omagbemi's side secured victory in the keenly-contested clash with the hard-fighting Falconets.

"It is a confidence boost for the girls as we continue to prepare for Cameroon," Omagbemi told media.

"We are using the matches to screen players and so expected everyone to give their best. As a team we must remain focus and determined in their preparations.

I'm happy with the performance of the girls, i'm sure by the time we have the rest of the foreign based players and some homebased from the Federation Cup. There will be a lot of improvement." (goal.com)
