Nigeria’s senior women national team whitewashed WoodBridge senior women club 9-0 in their second pre-World Cup friendly match played at the WoodBridge Soccer Centre on Sunday morning.

Substitute Francisca Ordega’s hat trick, Courtney Dike’s brace and a goal each from Asisat Oshoala, Ngozi Okobi, Francisca Ordega, Perpetua Nkwocha and Esther Sunday boosted Edwin Okon’s team ahead of the Fifa Women’s World Cup.

The victory, though against an unrated club side, has lifted the hopes of the Okon-led technical crew as his side regained their firing power after failing to score against the Canadian senior women national team.

The African representatives have been grouped with former champions USA, Sweden and Australia in the Group D of the World Cup scheduled to hold from June 6 to July 5 in Canada.

Nigeria will begin their campaign against Sweden at the Winnipeg Stadium on June 8.
