Nigeria WNT, the Super Falcons, performed admirably against Canada on Friday, holding the reigning Olympic Champions to a goalless draw.

However as the Super Falcons gear up for an upcoming encounter against Australia, head coach Randy Waldrum maintains a resolute and cautious attitude, acknowledging the challenge that lies ahead.

Waldrum views Australia as a formidable opponent capable of testing his team’s mettle and cause problems.

The Matildas will be without star forward Sam Kerr, but Waldrum is astutely aware of Australia’s reputation as a tenacious and skillful team in international women’s football circuit.

Having witnessed the Aussies’ performance against the Republic of Ireland, the American recognizes the tremendous talent pool within their ranks.

He stated that the team’s attacking prowess, tactical acumen, and disciplined defense have been key ingredients in their success, establishing them as a force to be reckoned with.

In light of this, Coach Waldrum approaches the upcoming encounter with caution, fully comprehending the potential challenges that Australia poses. ​

Speaking on the tie, “I watched their performance against Ireland; they’re dangerous with so many different weapons,” he said.

“We can’t go into it thinking the game is already won because they don’t have a star player. Our players understand that.”

Australia leads group B with 3 points followed by Canada and Nigeria after both teams shared the spoils on Friday.
