However, speaking ahead of their last eight encounter against Zambia, Demehin said the Copper Queens are not a match for Nigeria. 

She went on to note that while the Super Falcons are yet to let in a goal in three matches, the Southern African team  have conceded 4 goals.

She said, “Zambia is not a tough team compared to the Super Falcons. We are yet to concede a single goal after playing three matches, but they have conceded four goals.”
