Onumonu acknowledged the team's limited preparation time but expressed confidence in their potential.

The forward also reflected on her goal-scoring performance, highlighting the impact of her move to Montpellier.

Despite the defeat, Onumonu remains positive about the team's prospects, particularly as they prepare for the WAFCON tournament. With more time to prepare, she believes the Super Falcons can regain their dominant position in African women's football.

“We had only two training sessions and despite that, we played very well. In terms of preparation, I wish we had more because with more preparation we can get more information and we can perform better,” the forward told Ojb Sports.

“It is only telling that when we have more time and with WAFCON in the summer, with more time to prepare, we’ll be a better team. It felt good, it’s been a while since I scored for Nigeria so it felt good to get a goal back.

"I feel I’m finding my confidence since changing clubs, and the end product is being able to come here and score goals for the team,” she asserted.

Super Falcons has been drawn in Group B, alongside Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana for the 2024 African Women's Nations Cup (WAFCON).

The WAFCON is scheduled to take place in Morocco from July 5 to July 26, 2025.
