The Super Falcons suffered their second defeat at the Paris 2024 Olympics, narrowly losing 1-0 to World Champions Spain.

Despite a commendable performance, Randy Waldrum’s side missed crucial opportunities, leading to their second consecutive loss in matches.

In the 27th minute, Esther Okoronkwo’s low shot was saved by the Spanish goalkeeper.

Rasheedat Ajibade had two chances to put Nigeria ahead in the first half but failed to keep her efforts on target.

Spain thought they had scored when Salma Paralluelo found the net, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review confirmed an offside.

Spain eventually secured the win three minutes before the final whistle, as Alexia Putellas scored from a free kick, catching Nigerian goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie off her line.

Nigeria now faces a crucial final group game against Japan, needing a victory to have any chance of advancing.
