France inflicted a joint worst defeat on the Super Falcons following a humiliating 8-0 victory in a glamour friendly clash.
Before Friday’s duel in Le Mans, the record African champions had conceded quadruple of braces twice in history.
First against Norway in 1995, then Germany five years later.
France joined that exclusive club with a one-sided win in Thomas Dennerby’s first game as coach of the Nigerian team.
Valerie Gauvin struck thrice, while Eugenie Le Sommer, Gaetane Thiney, Aminata Diallo and Marie-Charlotte Leger scored once.
Les Bleues, currently ranked sixth in the world will be more than comfortable with the game’s outcome, knowing they totally outclassed a continental champion.
Dennerby, on the other hand, will be stunned by what lies ahead.
With Africa Women’s Championship qualifiers drawing closer, the Swede must put his house in order.
