Chiamaka Nnadozie, the Super Falcons’ goalkeeper, played a pivotal role in Paris FC’s victory over Arsenal in a penalty shootout during the first-round qualifiers of the UEFA Women’s Champions League on Saturday.
Nnadozie showcased her talent by making two remarkable saves, contributing to Paris FC’s 4-2 triumph in the penalty shootout following an exhilarating 3-3 draw during regular time.
Among the Arsenal players whose penalty kicks were thwarted by Nnadozie was Alessia Russo, a star of England’s 2023 Women’s World Cup team.
Arsenal had reached the semi-finals of the previous season’s Women’s Champions League, only to lose 5-4 on aggregate to Wolfsburg.
Nnadozie gained recognition as one of the standout performers for the Super Falcons at this year’s Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Throughout the tournament, she maintained three clean sheets, helping the Falcons advance to the round of 16.
In the opening match, Nnadozie made a crucial penalty save in a goalless draw against Canada, earning her the title of Player of the Match.
