Nigeria and Canada have shared the spoils in their Group B opener at the ongoing 2023 Women’s world cup co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
After a goalless opening half, Canada were awarded a penalty shortly after the break with captain, Christine Sinclair’s penalty saved by Super Falcons skipper Chiamaka Nnadozie.
Both nations went in search of a winner with Nigeria’s Michelle Alozie having a shot well blocked with a quarter of an hour remaining.
The Super Falcons will be without midfielder Deborah Abiodun for their next match after she was shown a red card late in second-half stoppage time.
With the match ending at a goalless draw, Nigeria is playing out her first scoreless draw in 27 Women’s World Cup matches, the Super Falcons will play their next world cup match against co-host Australia on July 27th.
