Nigeria women national team, the Super Falcons will be aiming for a huge win when they file out against Republic of Ireland in the final group match today.
The Falcons take on the Republic of Ireland’s ‘Girls in Green’ by 11.00 a.m. in Brisbane, needing a point from the encounter to be sure of a place in the knockout rounds.
The Super Falcons are on a six-match unbeaten streak, going back to their 1-0 defeat of Costa Rica in the Revelation Cup Tournament in Mexico five months ago.
After defeating the Costa Ricans, the nine-time African champions edged Haiti 2-1 in a friendly in Antalya, Turkey in April, and a few days later, spanked World Cup co-hosts, New Zealand, 3-0 also in Antalya.
In the course of their final training camp in Gold Coast, just before the World Cup, the Falcons whipped Lions FC 8-1.
At the World Cup, Nigeria drew 0-0 with Canada in Melbourne and defeated Australia 3-2 in Brisbane.
