⚽ Kanu plays down Zambia's WAFCON record ahead of must-win clash

Super Falcons forward Uchenna Kanu has dismissed concerns over Zambia's unbeaten group-stage record at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, saying the statistic "doesn't matter" as Nigeria look to recover from a shock opening defeat.

The defending champions were beaten 3-2 by WAFCON debutants Malawi in their Group C opener, heaping pressure on coach Justine Madugu's side ahead of their next fixture against Zambia.

Kanu's comments signal a determined response from the squad, with Nigeria needing a result to keep their title defence alive.
