Nigeria vs France: Super Falcons lose final Group A fixture
Nigeria were
defeated 1-0 by France, in their final Group A fixture at the ongoing Women’s
World Cup.
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.
Nigeria will now
have to wait on the results from other groups, to know if they will progress
into the next round, as one of the best third-placed teams.
