The Super Falcons of Nigeria have been eliminated from the Paris 2024 Olympics following a 3-1 defeat to Japan. This loss marks their third consecutive defeat in the tournament, with the team managing to score only one goal throughout their campaign.
Japan took an early lead with Maika Hamano scoring in the 22nd minute, followed by a second goal from Mina Tanaka just ten minutes later, putting Japan up 2-0. Nigeria's Jennifer Echegini, a rising star from PSG, provided a glimmer of hope with a stunning goal in the 42nd minute, reducing the deficit to 2-1. However, Japan's Kitagawa scored a brilliant free-kick right before halftime, restoring their two-goal lead and leaving the Super Falcons demoralized.
Despite their efforts in the second half, Nigeria couldn't break through Japan's strong defense, and the match ended with a 3-1 victory for Japan.
This disappointing outcome has led to criticism from fans who are questioning the team's performance and future prospects. The Super Falcons' inability to meet expectations, with three losses and just one goal, has left their supporters frustrated and concerned about the team's direction moving forward.
