The Super Falcons’ campaign at the Paris Olympics is over. A loss to Japan in their last Group C game condemned them to a disappointing exit from the competition.
It was 3-1 in the Asian side’s favour, ending the Super Falcons’ Olympics dreams.
Nigeria lost their first two games – Brazil and Spain – but went into Wednesday’s match hoping to reignite their slim chance of making the quarter-finals of the women’s football event of the Olympics.
That flicker of hope was, however, extinguished by Japan who scored twice in ten minutes, starting from the 22nd minute, to silence Coach Randy Waldrum’s girls.
