It is also the fourth time in 27 matches at the FIFA world cup that Nigeria is keeping a clean sheet thanks to captain Chiamaka Nnadozie who saved a penalty in the encounter.

The super falcons were also reduced to ten players in the closing stage of the match following the sending-off of Deborah Abiodun.

The Super Falcons Will Face Co-Hosts, Australia Next On Thursday.
