Staff Nigeria’s Tremendous Falcons did not fly of their remaining match of Group C of the Paris 2024 Girls’s Olympic Soccer Event.
The staff suffered 1-3 defeat to Japan within the remaining match and can return residence and not using a level from their first outing on the Olympics in 16 years.
After 0-1 defeats by Brazil and Spain of their two earlier matches, the Falcons had been anticipated to throw the kitchen sink on the Asian champions. As a substitute, the Nadeshiko had been two targets up just a bit after the half-hour mark, each scored inside 10 minutes of one another.
Mika Hamano fired previous goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie to present the Asian champions the lead after 22 minutes, and within the thirty second, Mina Tanaka doubled the lead, leaving the nine-time African champions with a heavy burden to elevate to face an opportunity of victory.
Jennifer Echegini briefly gave hope of that chance, with an excellent strike with three minutes to enter recess, however the Japanese restored their two-goal benefit in added time of first half when Hamano obtained her second with an outstanding free-kick.
The much-expected revamp within the second half did not materialize, and the Tremendous Falcons have departed the Girls’s Olympic Soccer Event in France with out making a single level and scoring just one purpose of their three matches.
