The Super Falcons suffered a second consecutive loss in the Paris 2024 Olympics, losing 1-0 to Spain on Sunday night at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes, France.
Coach Randy Waldrum made two changes to the side that started against Brazil as Jennifer Echegini and Chinwendu Ihezuo dropped to the bench for Esther Okoronkwo and Asisat Oshoala respectively.
After being forced to stay in their half for the first 10 minutes of the game, the Super Falcons eventually created their first chance after a really quick play of passes between Toni Payne and Oshoala.
Five minutes before full-time, attacking midfielder Putellas eventually gave the Spaniards the lead with a cross-shot goal from a free-kick, ending Nnadozie’s indomitability in goal.

The loss leaves Nigeria in a precarious situation heading into the final game but still have a shot at qualifying if they beat Japan with at least a two-goal margin and hope Spain beat Brazil.
