   As predicted, the Nigerian Falconets were no match to the Spanish U-20 Women’s team- in all departments of the game, including Coaching!

   I knew it was always going to be a tough day at the Office for the Falconets opening their account at the 2026 U-20 WWC against a well drilled and very experienced ball juggling Spanish women, the full squad members skilled and having received excellent coaching from world class clubs, like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid and Juventus senior women team, and then drilled by a world class women coach in the mold of David Aznar.

   In the end the talent, experience and expert coaching of the Spaniards won the match, and the Falconets were overran and Moses Aduku and his wards had no clue, and but for decent goalkeeping by Uzoma in Falconets goal the score line would have been more telling! But even so, the Falconets had their moments and could have scored 1 or 2 goals themselves, if they played with more confidence, and overcame fear and over-respect of the Spanish women team. At the end a 2-0 score by the Spaniards was well earned.

   Where is Janet Akekoromowei, the big, physical and strong former Bayelsa Queens striker, now with Benfica feminine in Portugal? I didn’t see her on the starting list nor was she listed in the Substitutes Bench. This was the type of match, you needed her to bully the Spaniards defences to submission, but suddenly she was no where to be found.
