Rinsola Babajide Shines as Super Falcons Thrash Egypt 6-2 to Reach WAFCON Quarter-Finals
Congratulations to Rinsola Babajide after another outstanding display in the Super Falcons’ emphatic 6-2 victory over the Cleopatras of Egypt, sealing Nigeria’s place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Babajide was one of the standout performers on the night, producing a lively and confident display whenever she was on the ball. Her blistering pace, creativity, and intelligent decision-making consistently troubled the Egyptian defence, making her one of Nigeria’s biggest attacking threats throughout the contest.
The winger capped off her brilliant performance with two assists, playing a crucial role in the Super Falcons’ dominant win and once again proving her quality on the international stage.
Her display also raises questions about the wealth of attacking talent available to head coach Justin Madugu. Babajide has repeatedly shown that she deserves more minutes, and performances like this only strengthen her case for a regular starting role.
She is a player who understands the game, uses the ball effectively, creates scoring opportunities for her teammates, and constantly poses a threat in the final third. Whenever she is given the chance, she delivers.
If she continues performing at this level, Rinsola Babajide has every reason to stake a claim for a place in the Super Falcons’ starting XI as Nigeria continues its quest for WAFCON glory.
