Nigeria vs France: Oliseh reacts to Super Falcons’ loss at World Cup
Nigeria’s ex
international and former Super Eagles Coach, Sunday Oliseh, has commended the
Super Falcons of Nigeria following their 1-0 defeat to France in their final
Group A fixture at the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup on Monday.
We reported
that Nigeria, on Monday night, was
defeated 1-0 by the host nation at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France.
The Super Falcons
came into the game, needing at least a point to give themselves a good chance
of qualifying for the Round of 16.
However, having
held on for most of the game, the African champions conceded a penalty in the
75th minute.
Wendie Renard
missed her first kick, but referee Melissa Paola Borjas Pastrana ordered for it
to be retaken, while showing a yellow card to Chiamaka Nnadozie for not keeping
a foot on the line.
Renard made no
mistakes the second time, as the hosts finished top of the group with nine
points.
Reacting, Oliseh on
his verified Twitter page commended Super Falcons despite their loss.
According to him,
he is sad, disappointed but proud of Super Falcons’ performance.
Olusegun wrote:
“Extremely proud of our Super falcons of Nigeria vs France at the world cup.
“These girls gave
it everything against a French side cheered on by a near full stadium and a
doubtful retaken penalty.
“I am
sad, disappointed, but proud of these girls!”
