Omagbemi thrilled with falconets.

Falconets' assistant
coach, Florence
Omagbemi left the
Namhae Public Stadium
in Korea on Friday a
satisfied person after
her wards pummelled
Widek University
women 4-1 in a Fifa
Under20 Women's World
Cup build-up game.
Nigeria's goals were
scored by Ebere Orji,
Charity Adule, Chisom
Henry and Azizat
Oshoala in both halves
of the encounter.
Omagbemi poured
kudos on both sides for
their performance.
"It was a good game
for our team and a good
build-up to the World
Cup.
"So far we are satisfied
with the sides that we
have played since
coming to Korea,"
explained Omagbemi.
The second string team
were fielded by the
technical crew unlike
Wednesday's friendly
tie against the
Gwanghou High School
boys which was to
gauge the strength of
their bench.
Comparing both
matches, the former
Nigerian player said the
women are good
technically but not
tactically better than
their men counterparts.
"But they should be
hailed. They had a good
goal which could have
beaten any keeper.
"Also do not forget that
all over the world, men
are better than women
in football," she added.
The friendly produced a
yellow card collected by
the Koreans.
Nigeria's next friendly
comes up on August 13.
The Fifa Under20
Women's World Cup
kicks off on Sunday,
August 19 in Japan.
