Super Falcons eliminated from Olympics after 3-1 defeat to Japan

The Super Falcons of Nigeria have been eliminated from the Paris 2024 Olympics following a 3-1 loss to Japan on Wednesday.

Japan took an early lead with goals from Maika Hamano and Mina Tanaka. Despite a glimmer of hope from Jennifer Echegini’s goal for Nigeria, Hikaru Kitagawa sealed the victory for Japan.

Nadeshiko Japan finished as Group B runners-up, two points behind World Champions Spain, who defeated Brazil 2-0.

Jennifer Echegini, replacing Esther Okoronkwo in the lineup, scored Nigeria’s sole goal, which stood out in an otherwise subpar performance by Randy Waldrum’s team.

Japan broke the deadlock in the 21st minute with Maika Hamano capitalizing on a counter-attack, assisted by Riko Ueki’s precise pass.

Japan continued their dominance, and in the 32nd minute, a rebound from Riko Ueki’s header was finished by Mina Tanaka, doubling their lead.
