Randy Waldrum, the head coach of the Super Falcons, has spoken about his expectations for Tuesday’s friendly against Canada.

In the early hours of Tuesday, the Falcons will face Canada in the second of a two-game friendly series scheduled for Victoria.

The Olympic champs won 2-0 in their first meeting on Saturday in Vancouver, thanks to two second-half goals.

Looking ahead to the second leg of the friendly, Waldrum discussed his team’s performance in the first match and what he expects from the second match.

“I took a lot of positives from the match,” he  said in a video published on the Super Falcons Twitter handle.

“Obviously anytime you step on the field you want to get a win, you want a result but the purpose of taking on these games is for our development and our preparations for not only AFCON but the World Cup.

“So I was really pleased with the overall performance of the team especially considering five or six key players aren’t here in camp, it gave the opportunity for some other players for us to look at.

“But overall I was really pleased for the performance.

“We will make some decisions on how we want to play in the second match.

“We will make some decisions on whether to play with the same line up, the same formation of we will tweak somethings a little bit because it gives us the opportunity to experiment. 

“So we will see what that brings tomorrow but I’m going to expect the same kind of effort and performance out of the players we had in the first match.

“And I think we can take probably 60 positive minutes out of the first match and now the key is to see if we can build on that and get more minutes out of them in the second.”

The Falcons will be led by Waldrum to this year’s AWCON, which will take place in Morocco in July.

The AWCON will serve as a qualifying tournament for the 2023 Women’s World Cup, which Australia and New Zealand will co-host.
