The Super Falcons’ campaign at the Paris Olympics has come to an end following a 3-1 defeat to Japan in their final Group C match. This loss sealed their disappointing exit from the competition.
Having lost their first two games against Brazil and Spain, Nigeria entered Wednesday’s match with a slim chance of advancing to the quarter-finals.
However, Japan dashed those hopes by scoring twice within ten minutes, starting from the 22nd minute, leaving Coach Randy Waldrum’s team without a path forward.
The results meant that Spain who defeated Brazil 1-0 in the other group C encounter finish top of the group while Japan come in second.
Meanwhile, Brazil who defeated Nigeria in the first game of group C finish in third position and will now proceed to the quarter -finals as one of the best third places teams in the competition.
