Nigeria Women are aiming to secure their spot in the knockout rounds of the Women’s World Cup 2023 as they prepare to face Ireland Women on Monday. While Ireland Women have already been knocked out of the tournament, they remain motivated to conclude their campaign with a victory.
Ireland’s maiden appearance in the Women’s World Cup is set to conclude on Monday following their back-to-back defeats in the opening two matches. They began their campaign with a narrow 1-0 loss to co-hosts Australia and then faced Olympic champions Canada in their next fixture. Katie McCabe’s early goal from a corner provided a dream start, but Megan Connolly’s unfortunate own goal brought the score level at halftime. Canada took the lead in the second half through Adriana Leon, and despite Ireland’s efforts, they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat, resulting in an exit from the group stage. Despite their journey in Australia and New Zealand nearing its end, Ireland remains eager to secure their first-ever victory in a Women’s World Cup match, leaving them determined to leave a positive mark on the tournament.
Nigeria’s Women’s World Cup campaign has been nothing short of remarkable, as they have delivered impressive performances against Canada and Australia, earning four points from their opening two matches. The Super Falcons exhibited their defensive strength by holding Canada to a goalless draw, followed by an impressive attacking display in their encounter with Australia. Overcoming an early deficit, Randy Waldrum’s team secured a 3-1 victory with goals from Uchenna Kanu, Osinachi Ohale, and Asisat Oshoala. Although Alanna Kennedy pulled one back for Australia in stoppage time, Nigeria held on to claim all three points and now lead the group on goal difference. A draw in their next game will guarantee their progression to the last-16, while a loss would see their fate depend on the outcome of the other match between Canada and Australia.
