The Super Falcons still have a chance to qualify for the knockout phase of the 2024 Olympic Games despite losing their first two matches to Brazil and Spain.

The nine-time African champions lost their second consecutive game to the world champions due to a lone goal from Barcelona star Alexia Putellas.

The former Women's Footballer of the Year scored from a brilliant free kick late in the game, securing a crucial win for La Roja.

The results leave Randy Waldrum's side languishing at the bottom of Group C with no points after two games.

Despite their current standings, the Falcons can still secure qualification with a decisive win against Japan in their final group encounter on Wednesday, July 31.

The good news for Nigeria is that the team did not lose by a large margin in either game. This means they could still advance as one of the best third-placed teams if they beat Japan in their last group match.
