Nigeria’s Chiamaka Nnadoze has clinched the goalkeeper of the year prize at this year’s Confederation of African Football (CAF) awards.

Nnadozie beat fellow goalkeepers like the Moroccan shot-stopper Khadija El-Rmichi and South Africa’s Andile Olaminii.

She showed her heroics in the Women’s World Cup match against Olympic champions Canada, making three saves, including stopping a 50th-minute penalty from Christine Sinclair.

Her performances in the game secured a goalless draw for the Super Falcons, earned herself a Player of the Match award and garnered international attention.
