VIDEO: Okoronkwo strike helps Falcons beat Costa Rica in Mexico to end winless run

Esther Okoronkwo scored the only goal as Nigeria beat Costa Rica to chalk their first win at the 2023 Revelation Cup and their first win in 8 games.

Coach Randy Waldrum made a couple of changes to the team that started the games against Mexico, and Columbia by handing game time to new players.

In goal, Esther Balogun replaced dependable Chiamaka Nnadozie; Esther Okoronkwo, and Jennifer Onyi Echegini were also given a starting berth.

It was Jennifer Onyi Echegini and Esther Okoronkwo who combined to finally hand Nigeria the first win after seven consecutive defeats.

Super Falcons played a much better game compared to the last two games at the tournament.
