This defeat ends their Olympic journey, with the Nigerian team suffering three straight losses and managing only one goal throughout the tournament.
The game got off to a rough start for Nigeria, despite their promise to give it their all.
Japan’s Maika Hamano scored in the 22nd minute, and Mina Tanaka added another goal just 10 minutes later, putting Japan ahead 2-0.
There was a brief moment of hope when Jennifer Echegini, a new star from PSG, scored a fantastic goal in the 42nd minute to cut Japan’s lead in half.
However, Japan’s Kitagawa scored a brilliant free-kick right before halftime, restoring their two-goal lead and leaving the Super Falcons demoralized.
In the second half, Nigeria tried hard to come back, but Japan’s strong defense was too much to overcome. The match ended with a 3-1 victory for Japan.
This disappointing result has led to criticism from fans, who are questioning the team’s performance and future.
With three losses and only one goal, the Super Falcons did not meet expectations, leaving their supporters frustrated.
