Super Falcons have made it to the Round of 16 at the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. The Nigerian ladies made it after coming out of the match against the Republic of Ireland with a goalless draw on Monday.

It was a tough match, and the closest Randy Waldrum’s ladies did their best to score a goal to remain on top of the group; however, the closest they got was when Uchenna Kanu’s header was pushed onto the bar by the Irish goalkeeper, Courtney Brosnan.

With that draw, Nigeria finishes as runners-up in Group B with five points - winning one game and drawing two.

Australia claimed the top spot thanks to their 4-0 thrashing of Canada.
