Japan defeated Nigeria's Super Falcons 2-0 in a friendly match on Thursday to pile more pressure on coach Randy Waldrum.
ALL EYES ON: Waldrum’s tenure is set to be criticized more as Nigeria continue to struggle in 2022. They have now conceded eight goals in the friendlies and scored only once, and this prompts questions as to their readiness for the upcoming Fifa Women’s World Cup. The Super Falcons saw three of their players yellow-carded; Christy Ucheibe was the first one to be cautioned in the 23rd minute before Vivian Ikechukwu - who replaced her in the 39th minute – was also cautioned a minute before the half-time break, while Osinachi Ohale received her card in the 67th minute.
