Ashleigh Plumptre has expressed her excitement following the Super Falcons’ winning start at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Justine Madugu’s side recorded a comfortable 3-0 victory over the North Africans on Sunday.
The Super Falcons previously failed to record a win in their last two opening fixtures at the WAFCON finals.
In their opening match in the 2018 competition, which was hosted by Ghana, they were defeated 1-0 by South Africa’s Banyana Banyana.
In Morocco 2022, they were also defeated by the same score by the Banyana Banyana.
According to Plumptre, the team benefited from finishing with a victory and a clean sheet.
“I’m ecstatic. Since it’s the tournament’s opening game, naturally, there is a lot of anxiety and anticipation. After the game, the Saudi Arabian player for Al-Ittihad told Ademola TV, “It’s a really nice way to start to come away with three goals and a clean sheet.”
The next game for the nine-time winners is scheduled for Thursday against Botswana.
