A 37’ goal scored by Gabi Nunes gifted Brazil a deserved 1-0 win over Nigeria in the Group C opener of Paris 2024 Women’s Football Tournament at Metmut Atlantique stadium Bordeaux.
Nunes shot fired at the edge of Nigeria’s vital area beat Nigeria’s first choice goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie after Brazil legend Martha passed ball to her teammate to riffle home.
All efforts by Nigeria’s head coach Randy Waldrum to turn the match around failed including bringing in forward Esther Okoronkwo in place of Chinwendu Ihezuo in the second half but ended up in replacing same player with Ifeoma Onumonu.
Nigeria’s next match is against Japan. READ ALSO:
