The Super Falcons have crashed out of the the FIFA Women’s World Cup after losing to England on 4-2 penalty shootouts.
Neither of the teams were able to hit the back of the net inside 90 minutes, forcing the match to go into extra time which also ended in stalemate.
Nigeria’s loss ended the Falcons’ prospect to surpass their earlier record of progressing beyond quarter finals in the global competition.
