2023 WWC: Super Falcons Draw Ireland, Qualify For Knockout Stage

Super Falcons have qualified for the knockout stage of the 2023 WWC after pulling a draw with Ireland.

 

Glamtush reports that Nigeria’s Super Falcons on Monday played a goalless draw against the Republic of Ireland to advance to the Women’s World Cup knockout stage.

The Nigerian female team advanced to the knockout stage with 5 points garnered from two draws and one win.

The Super Falcons shared points with the Republic of Ireland to progress to the round of 16 following a draw against Canada and a stunning win against Australia.

Randy Waldrum’s team needed a draw to be sure of the next round passage irrespective of the result between co-hosts Australia and 2020 Olympic Champions, Canada.

They also made history by avoiding defeat in three consecutive World Cup matches for the first time.

Before the game, Nigeria leads Group B with four points and a goal difference ahead of Canada who also have the same number of points. Australia was third with three points.

But Australia topped Group B with six points after thrashing Canada 4-0 to secure a place in the last 16.
