Esther Okoronkwo has reacted to Nigeria’s 3-2 victory over the Atlas Lionesses of Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Okoronkwo played a pivotal role in the stunning victory, scoring once and also providing two assists.
The AFC Toronto striker contributed two goals and four assists for the Super Falcons in the competition.
It was the first time she would be winning a major title with the Super Falcons.
Okoronkwo expressed her joy at becoming an African champion.
The 27-year-old also praised the Moroccans for their spirited display.
“I am very happy to be a champion. The first-half goals were unfortunate. It happens in football. When we went to the locker room, we gathered the fighting spirit because it was all or nothing. The Moroccan team has chemistry, they were a tough team,” she said after the game.
