Super Falcons Qualify For R16 at FIFA Women World Cup
The Super Falcons have qualified for the next round of 16 on the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia after playing out a goalless with the Republic of Ireland in their last Group B match played inside the Brisbane Stadium. The Nigeria players knew the best way to proceed to the knockout stage without conceding a goal in the game, was to avoid their opponents scoring and staying safe on a goalless match. The former African champions nearly opened the scoring within the opening ten minutes but Kanu’s header was brilliantly pushed onto the crossbar by the goalkeeper. And moments later, Oshoala had the sight of goal but narrowly shot wide.
