Coach of the Super Falcons, Edwin Okon, has lamented missed chances against the USA in their final group match, as they were eliminated from the Women’s World Cup in Canada.
Abby Wambach scored shortly before the break and it eventually became the winning goal.
Okon however insists that it would have been a different story, if his ladies had made the most of their own chances.
“USA made the most of one of their chances and we didn’t, even though we had several,” he said after the match.
“We weren’t focused enough in a few situations today. I wasn’t surprised to see USA make substitutions that were more defensive after our sending off as they knew they were playing a good team. You always have a 50-50 chance in every game.
“It was a great experience for us here in Canada.”
The African champions drew 3-3 with Sweden and were beaten 2-0 by Australia in their previous group games.
