According to The Standard, the Wolverhampton Wanderers striker teamed up with Cyriel Dessers up top and grounded out a win after Victor Osimhen's unfortunate injury.
Nigerians were delighted with the win as it gives the team confidence ahead of Tuesday's matchday eight against Bafana Bafana of South Africa.
South Africa are top of Group C, six points clear of the Super Eagles in third place. A win for the Eagles will reduce the deficit to three points with two matches to go.
Alozie sends message to Nigerians
Godswill Akpabio International Stadium was sold out for the match, showcasing the local support for the Super Eagles in a crucial match.
Super Falcons star Michelle Alozie urges Nigerians to show the same level of support for the women's team when they play at home, with a message on her X page, which many fans agree to, and some others have a different view on it.

“Fair enough! In fact, it's more than merited. The Falcons are carrying Nigerian football at the moment.”

“A sad truth is that the women's games are not as interesting as the men’s games, and also do not get the type of revenue, hence it translates to the type of views it gets.”

“I think you have the wrong country. Nigerians actually support Super Falcons a lot. In Uyo, sporting events are a massive deal because they don't have as much social activity as Lagos.”
The last time the Super Falcons played at home, the match was hosted at the newly renovated Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta to a minimal crowd.
As noted by Punch, they will return home in October to face Benin in the qualifier for the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations.
