Super Falcons Crash Out Of 2020 Tokyo Olympics Race.
African champions, the Super Falcons of Nigeria have been eliminated from the race to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics women’s football tournament on Monday after forcing the Les Elephantes of Cote d’Ivoire to a 1-1 draw at the Agege Stadium in Lagos.
As early as the 6th minute, Nigeria’s Gift Monday rattled goalkeeper Cynthia Djohore only to see her shot pushed away for a corner kick. But the Falcons failed to convert the series of chances that followed. The Super Falcons did not lose steam, and in the 27th minute, skipper Asisat Oshoala should have equalized but watched her shot from a brilliant Gift Monday pass sail over the bar.
In the 45th minute, Francisca Ordega should have done better than heave the ball over the bar from the left.
