The Super Falcons came into the game, needing at least a point to give themselves a good chance of qualifying for the Round of 16.
However, having held on for most of the game, the African champions conceded a penalty in the 75th minute.

According to him, he is sad, disappointed but proud of Super Falcons’ performance.

“These girls gave it everything against a French side cheered on by a near full stadium and a doubtful retaken penalty.
“I am sad,disappointed, but proud of these girls!”
