The former Paris FC goalkeeper made two diving saves, eight recoveries, and 72% accurate passes. The 24-year-old was named the Player of the Match against the Blues.

"I think you should get the CAF female footballer of the year. I was thinking of Esther Okoronkwo but we didn't get much publicity about her game before the WAFCON. Anyway the winner is still definitely going to be from Nigeria by God's grace."
