WAFCON 2026: I Don’t Understand How Super Falcons Lost To Malawi —Udeze

Former Nigeria international Ifeanyi Udeze has expressed shock following the Super Falcons 3-2 defeat to WAFCON debutants Malawi on Tuesday.

Despite going into the contest as underdogs, Malawi came out tops thanks to Chawinga sisters Temwa and Tabitha who got the three goals.

Temwa put Malawi in front on 69th minute before Tabitha doubled the lead with 10 minutes later.

Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade reduced the deficit after converting from the penalty spot to make it 2-1 in the 92nd minute.

But in the 95th minute Temwa got her second strike to extend Malawi’s lead to 3-1 before Uchenna Kanu got a consolation goal on 99 minutes.

Reacting to the shock defeat Udeze stated that he cannot understand how the Super Falcons fell to the African minnows.

“I didn’t expect I don’t understand how it happened, how come Malawi beat the super falcons,” Udeze said on BRILA FM. “I said something about underrating any team, that you must give their all so I feel the Super Falcons underrated them.”

Despite the defeat, Udeze expressed confidence that the Super Falcons can bounce back in their second group fixture with Zambia.

“This is a lesson and I hope they’ve learnt their lesson and I believe they a bounce back against Zambia.”
