The Super Falcons started their campaign at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games on rocky ground, falling 0-1 against Brazil in their opening game.
Nigeria comes into the game after an outstanding performance at the 2023 FIFA World Cup and an eight-game unbeaten streak.
They started the match strongly, but missed a few chances to take the lead in Bordeaux, France.
Many people expected the squad to go into the tunnel ahead of the South Americans , or at least tied. But Gabi Nunez finished strong with roughly eight minutes remaining in the first half, giving Coach Randy Waldrums team a mountain to climb in the second half.
When the second half resumed, the Nigerians surged to regain control of the match. However, their last balls rarely threatened the Brazilian defence.
