The Ivorian playmaker showcased his creativity with two crucial second-half assists and demonstrated his resilience by winning 11 of his 14 ground duels. His dribbling was equally impressive, successfully completing all four attempts.
Diallo also came close to winning a penalty late in the game after a challenge in the box, but the referee dismissed the appeals, allowing play to continue.
“He was really good again. He’s in a great moment but that moment started with Ruud [van Nistelrooy], so I just take advantage of his work with Amad. He was really good defending and really good attacking.” When asked about the 22-year-old forward, Amorim said.
“So he needs to continue to play like that. You could feel it at the end of the game he was really, really tired, so we need to manage that to increase physical ability.”
Oshoala was missing in the Super Falcons’ international friendly match against France in Angers due to her documentation problem in the United States.
“Asisat Oshoala is still an integral member of the Super Falcons, an important player in the team. She has some documentation problems in the US; that’s why we didn’t invite her for this game,” Madugu told Complete Sports.
The striker will be hoping to make a return to the squad for their upcoming games to make an impact.
