Allnigeriasoccer.com runs the rules on how the Super Falcons performed in Accra.
The Starters
Tochukwu Oluehi: The Rivers Angels keeper once again rose up to the occasion with another excellent performance. She came to her team's rescue in the shootouts. 9/10
Josephine Chukwunonye: Chukwunonye proved herself at right back. She kept on bumping forward and also defended well when needed. 8/10
Ebere Ngozi: The left back produced a great show for the Super Falcons. 8/10
Onome Ebi: Onome Ebi kept the trio of Linda Motlhalo, Chrestinah Kgatlana and Jermaine Seoposenwe silent. 8/10
Ohale Osinachi: The defender kept things tight alongside Onome at the heart of the defence. 8/10
Halimatu Ayinde: The former Nasarawa Amazons and Delta Queens star was one of the best players in the game. She was very valuable to the Falcons. 8.5/10
Rita Chikwelu: Chikwelu showed a glimpse of her playmaking skills with some killer passes at the middle of the park. 7/10
Ngozi Okobi: The midfielder passed the ball very well and was twice denied by goalkeeper Kaylin Swart. 8/10
Rasheedat Ajibade: Ajibade couldn't assert herself to the game despite getting a starters berth. 6/10
Francisca Ordega: The diminutive forward caused all sorts of problems to Banyana Banyana. She was exciting at both flanks. 8/10
Asisat Oshoala: Not the best game by her usual high standards. She missed a spot kick in the second half. Aside that she was full of pace. 7/10
The Substitutes
Chinwendu Ihezou: The BIIK Kazygurt forward tried her best when she came on. She ran through the channels and gave her team option. 6/10
Chinaza Uchendu: An extra time substitute. She didn't last long to be rated. N/A
