The Super Falcons of Nigeria lost their second match at the 2024 Paris Olympics to Spain, with a score of 1-0.
The winning goal was scored by Alexia Putellas in the 85th minute with a direct free kick.
Spain dominated the game, but Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, made several crucial saves to keep the score level until the late goal.
The Super Falcons had a few chances, but failed to convert them, including a one-on-one chance for team captain Rasheedat Ajibade.
The loss puts Nigeria at the bottom of Group C with zero points, having lost their first match to Brazil.
Nigeria’s next game will be against Japan on Wednesday, and they need a win to have any chance of progressing to the next round.
