Nigeria Falconets

Nigeria first to depart PNG

Having lost heavily to Japan on the opening day, the African side bounced back to beat Canada 3-1 and Spain 2-1.

However, the consecutive wins did not see the girls to the knock-out round as they bowed out of the competition on superior goal difference.

Spain took the second position in Group B behind Japan having  a five-goal advantage in contrast to Nigeria’s minus three goals.
