The Super Falcons have been eliminated from the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup after succumbing to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of tournament hosts Germany last night in Frankfurt.
With France beating Canada 4-0 earlier in the day, the Super Falcons needed to avoid defeat against the Germans to stand a chance of progressing to the quarter finals. But following a goalless first half, Simone Laudehr scored early in the second half to hand the Germans the lead which they held on to for the remainder of the Group A encounter.
The win moved the Germans into a tie for first place in Group A with France with six points apiece, while the Nigerians and Canadians remain in search of their first point of the tourney.
