The West Africans’ dream of winning their first invitational came true after Randy Waldrum’s side crushed their continental rivals.
Nigeria emerged as the first African side to claim the Turkish Women’s Cup on their first-ever appearance after humiliating Equatorial Guinea 9-0 on Tuesday.
The nine-time Africa Women’s Cup of Nations winners opened their outing on a high, with a 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow before edging Uzbekistan by the same scoreline to inch closer to the crown.
Randy Waldrum made three changes to his side, starting Charity Adule, Christy Ohiaeriaku and Uchenna Kanu ahead of Halimatu Ayinde, Tochukwu Oluehi and Francisca Ordega.
Needing just a draw to seal the title, the Super Falcons were seeking to end on a high as Uchenna Kanu set up Glory Ogbonna to open the scoring, with a long-range effort after just nine minutes.
