Coach Randy Waldrum has rated Nigeria's Super Falcons shot stopper Chiamaka Nnadozie as best in the women's game, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

Nnadozie who plays for Paris FC in France has been one of the stars of the tournament for the Super Falcons, as she made crucial saves in their first two games, including a penalty in the 0-0 draw with Canada.

"Chiamaka has been a big part of us since I came on board, she is a young player continuing to get better every year," Waldrum said.

"Whenever I do the list for the BBC of top 100 players in the world, she is always there among the goalkeepers and I think she will only get better.

"A lot of people in France know already (how good she is), but now I think the world will see. She made great saves against Australia too and has been a big part of our success."

Waldrum also expressed confidence in leading forward Asisat Oshoala, who has been grappling with niggling injuries for some time.

"She is doing much better, we did the right thing by managing her minutes and we might have to do that again in this match. She will definitely be playing, but we will have to see for how long," the coach said.
