2024 OLYMPICS: 1-0 LOSS TO SPAIN LEAVES S’FALCONS ON BRINK OF ELIMINATION
Read Time:47 Second
The Super Falcons of Nigeria lost their second consecutive Group C match against Spain by 1-0 on Sunday evening, after losing to Brazil earlier during the week.
The game was the second for both sides in the ongoing Paris 2024 Women’s Olympic Football tournament in France.
Spain’s Alexia Putellas secured the victory with an 85th-minute direct free kick, which caught Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Nnadozie, off guard.
With the win, La Roja have cemented a place in the quarterfinals of the tourney with a match left to face Brazil on Wednesday.
The Falcons had their chances but failed to convert any as team captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, lost a one-on-one chance at goal.
Tonight’s loss puts the Falcons at the bottom of the table with zero points, having lost their first match by 1-0 to Brazil.
Nigeria will be playing Japan next on Sunday as the chances of qualification remain slim.
