Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Captain Onone Ebi, Jennifer Echegini and Desire Oparanozie were all on target as the Super Falcons extended their winning run to three games following a 3-0 victory against New Zealand in a friendly encounter at the Mardan Sports Complex, Antalya, Turkey on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

New Zealand dominated the early exchanges pinning the Super Falcons to their own half.<\/p>\n

The first chance of the game, however, fell to Nigeria but Esther Okoronkwo failed to direct Asisat Oshoala\u2019s cross from a free-kick on target.<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie produced a superb save to deny the Ferns on 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Rasheed Ajibade nearly gave the Super Falcons the lead a minute later but she shot wide from inside the box.<\/p>\n

The Ferns were unrelenting with their attacking play and Echegini made a last-ditch tackle to deny them two minutes before the half-hour mark.<\/p>\n

The Super Falcons responded with Oshoala having a goal-bound effort deflected for a corner on 32 minutes.<\/p>\n

The breakthrough came a minute later with Ebi nodding home Toni Payne\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n

The Super Falcons maintained the lead for the remainder of the first half.<\/p>\n

Echegini tapped home the second goal four minutes after the break.<\/p>\n

Randy Waldrum\u2019s side took total control of the game afterwards passing the ball around with confidence.<\/p>\n

Substitute Oparanozie completed the rout by netting the third deep into stoppage time.<\/p>\n
