Nigeria’s Super Falcons winger Rinsola Babajide has showered praise on Ghana’s midfield maestro Grace Asantewaa following her sensational five-star performance against England tonight. The match, which drew huge attention across Africa, saw Asantewaa dominate the midfield with class, vision, and relentless energy.
Babajide, who has long admired the talents within the Ghanaian national team, took to social media to hail Asantewaa’s brilliance, describing her display as “top-level football deserving global respect.” Her message added a refreshing sense of unity between two traditionally fierce football rivals, Nigeria and Ghana.
Asantewaa’s performance was a masterclass—silky ball control, pinpoint passing, tireless defensive work, and leadership in crucial moments. She was instrumental in breaking England’s rhythm and setting the tempo for Ghana’s attacking transitions. Fans across the continent celebrated her as one of Africa’s most technically gifted midfielders.
Babajide’s recognition also highlights the growing bond and mutual respect among African women footballers. With both Ghana and Nigeria building competitive squads on the global stage, moments like this emphasise the shared mission of elevating African women’s football.
Asantewaa’s showing tonight will certainly spark more conversations about her potential, her growth, and her rising status as one of Africa’s elite midfielders.
