Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Super Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum has defended his tactics after coming under intense criticism following his side\u2019s defeat to host nation Morocco on Monday night in Rabat.<\/p>\n

Waldrum\u2019s side, instead of playing conservatively, pushed forward after scoring the game\u2019s opening goal a minute after the hour mark despite playing with 10 players following Halimat Ayinde\u2019s dismissal on 48 minutes.<\/p>\n

The American also left forward Ifeoma Onumonu on the pitch for 120 minutes, despite the Gotham FC striker looking jaded after his side was further depleted following Rasheedat Ajibade\u2019s dismissal on 70 minutes.<\/p>\n

Waldrum was questioned about his tactical and substitution choices after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to get into that,\u201d the former college and NWSL coach gave a testy response to the media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll say the subs we made were the right subs in the match and we couldn\u2019t have asked more from the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Super Falcons will now shift attention to the bronze medal match against She-polopolo of Zambia on Friday.<\/p>\n
