Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Super Falcons of Nigeria made it three wins from three games at the Turkish Women's Four-Nation Tournament following their 9-0 demolition of Equatorial Guinea.
The African champions finished above the other three teams that participated after defeating CSKA Moscow and Uzbekistan by the same 1-0 scorelines in their first two matches.
Uchenna Kanu set the ball rolling in the 9th minute while team captain Asisat Oshoala made it 2-0 from a spot-kick after Toni Payne was fouled.
The Barcelona striker completed her brace from another penalty kick to make it 3-0 after the Equatorial Guinea players became very physical in the game.
Oshoala then grabbed a hat-trick in the 26th minute after beating an offside trap as she rounded the goalkeeper before putting the ball into the back of the net.
Uchenna made it 5-0 in the 36th minute courtesy of an assist from Payne while Adule headed home the sixth.
