Nigeria's Super Falcons kicked off their 2015 All African Games campaign with a 5-1 thrashing of host country, Congo Brazaville on Sunday.
The Christopher Danjuma led side, who lost out of the Rio 2016 Olympics after losing to Equitorial Guinea in the qualifiers are
hoping to console themselves with the gold medal in women's football category of the 11th edition of the championship.
Top scorer at the last African Women Championship finals, Desire Oparanozie weighed in with four goals, with Chinaza Uchendu scoring Nigeria’s fifth and final goal.
Nigeria now top the group with a three points advantage ahead of their next game against Tanzania come Wednesday.
Egypt’s withdrawal from the men’s and women’s football events means the Nigeria men’s team will have to wait until Wednesday to play Ghana at the Stade de l’unite 3 also in Brazzaville.
The Falcons' final match of the group phase is against Cote d'Ivoire on Saturday at the Stade de l'unite 3. NFF
