The Super Falcons of Nigeria are brimming with confidence as they approach their second match against Australia in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, according to their captain, Onome Ebi. Following an impressive 0-0 draw against Olympic champions Canada in their opening fixture at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, the Nigerian team is in high spirits and eagerly anticipates their upcoming clash with the Matildas at the Brisbane Stadium on Thursday.
Reflecting on their performance against Canada, Ebi expressed pride in her team’s resolute display. The hard-fought draw against strong opposition served as a positive start to their World Cup campaign, providing the Super Falcons with momentum and self-belief going forward.
However, Ebi acknowledges the formidable challenge posed by Australia, who secured a 1-0 victory against Republic of Ireland in their opening match. Aware of the competitive nature of the tournament, the Nigerian captain emphasized that no team should be underestimated, and the Super Falcons are well-prepared to face any opponent.
As the competition intensifies, Australia currently tops Group B with three points, while Nigeria and Canada hold one point each. Republic of Ireland, on the other hand, finds themselves at the bottom of the group without a point.
