Nigeria’s Super Falcons has increased its chance of making it to the second round after thrashing co-host, Australia 3 – 2 on Thursday.
This is the first win of Nigeria in the competition and the fifth win in the history of the Women’s World Cup.
With the win, the Super Falcon’s chance of reaching the round of 16 have been boosted after Canada secured a 2-1 victory against Ireland on Wednesday.
In their opening match at the tournament, the Falcons displayed defensive prowess, including goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie saving a penalty, to secure a commendable point.
