Nigeria have pulled off a fine feat at the 2023 Women's World Cup. The Super Falcons beat Australia (3-2), hosts of the tournament and semi-finalists at the last Olympics."The team's mentality is incredible.It would have been easy to give up before half-time after scoring, but they responded immediately," said coach Randy Waldrum.
The American coach adds."They showed great resilience to come back and turn things around in the second half.I just think the team has an incredible spirit, and the chemistry together is incredible. As long as we have that, we can beat anyone."
At the top of Group B, the Super Falcons face already-eliminated Ireland in their final group match on Monday July 31. They need just one point to qualify for the last 8.
