Falcons Steps Out Of Women World Cup

Nigeria’s Super Falcons was knocked out of the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada by their US counterpart on Tuesday night.

The Falcons only needed a win to scale through to the round of 16, having drawn their first match and lost their second game in Group D to Sweden and Australia respectively.

But the Americans dashed the hopes of the Nigerians of going further in the competition.

The African champions were defeated by a lone goal scored in the 44th minute by Wambach.

Nnodim received a second yellow card 69 minutes into the game, which earned her a red. Nigeria finished the rest of the match with 10 players.
