The Houston Dash full-back stood out for her defensive solidity and composure, particularly after Nigeria were reduced to 10 players following a red card to Blessing Demehin in the first half. Alozie’s disciplined display was instrumental in helping the Super Falcons nullify Zambia’s attacking threat, led by captain Barbra Banda, and protect Asisat Oshoala’s early goal.
CAF’s official Women’s Football account highlighted her contribution with the description: “Composed. Confident. Complete.”
Alozie’s performance came in a high-stakes match that kept Nigeria’s title defence and World Cup qualification hopes alive after their opening-day defeat to Malawi. The result leaves the Super Falcons on three points, level with Zambia, heading into their final group fixture against Egypt.
The award underscores Alozie’s growing importance to the Super Falcons, where her athleticism and versatility continue to make her a key figure in both defence and attack.
