In case you missed it: Asisat Oshoala becomes the first Nigerian since Rita Nwadike to score at two FIFA Women’s World Cups as the Super Falcons beat South Korea to keep alive their hopes of progressing to the knockout rounds. NGA FIFAWWC Nigeria ICYMI
Asisat Oshoala and an own goal by Do-Yeon Kim earned Nigeria their first win at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France.
Nigeria started on the back foot as Korea piled pressure on the defence that sat back. The defence was resolute as it held its frame despite missing the injured Faith Michael who was replaced by Chidinma Okeke. Nnadozie made an early error in the 3rd minute due to jitters but improved as the game wore on, producing important saves that ensure Nigeria had a clean sheet. After the game, she called it a dream that came true for her, keeping a clean sheet at the World Cup.
After the half time break, there was a penalty scare for Nigeria as Ji So-Yun went down in the area but the referee showed the Chelsea playmaker a yellow card for simulation.
