Olympics '24: Brazil edge Super Falcons in Bordeaux
Nigeria Super Falcons were at the losing side in their first match of the 2024 Paris Olympic women football games after losing to Brazil on Thursday evening, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Nigeria Senior Women National team lost 1-0 to the Samba Ladies at the Matmut Atlantique Stadium, Bordeaux in France.
After a pulsating start which saw the Nigeria Women show guts in their display and great defending through goalkepper Chiamaka Nnadozie, the South American giants broke the deadlock.
Gabi Nunes after 37 minute of action struck a right footed shot that caught Nnadozie napping courtesy of a Martha's pass.
The West African giants pushed towards the end of the encounter to salvage the result, but their efforts were not enough after 90 minute.
Coach Randy Waldrum side will now shift their focus to their next game on Sunday against Spain.
