As noted by CAF Online, AFC Toronto star Okoronkwo scored once and provided two assists in the quarter-final 5-0 demolition of Zambia and repeated the heroics in the final against Morocco.
ESPN noted that Houston Dash star Alozie scored a crucial last-minute match-winner against South Africa in the semi-final to send the Falcons to the final.
Okoronkwo and Alozie were included in the team of the tournament, which also features Super Falcons teammates Chiamaka Nnadozie and Rasheedat Ajibade.
Okoronkwo teaches Alozie pidgin English
A video emerged online showing the two roommates having a conversation and Alozie asking to be taught pidgin English, because she's yet to fully grasp it.
The California-born star asked her colleague to say statements in pidgin and let her repeat them, though she was not pleased with how she vocalised them, claiming she doesn't sound like herself.
The two burst into laughter when she said, “I dey tire, sleep dey catch my eyes,” which got her excited at how smooth the words came out.
Okoronkwo was born in Abia State, but was raised in Texas and visits home on holidays, hence her ability to be fluent in expressing in pidgin.
Fans in the comments did not believe Alozie was not fluent in pidgin, citing that the way she speaks is too smooth for someone who doesn't speak well.
