#FIFAWomesWorldCup: Barcelona star Asisat Oshoala fires Nigeria to 2-0 Victory over Korea in France

Nigeria’s Super Falcons bounced back to winning ways at the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup in France following their 2-0 win over the Korea Republic.

Coach Thomas Dennerby kicked off their campaign with a heavy defeat owing to their 3-0 defeat to Norway.

The African champions, however, brightened their chances of narrowly making it through to the next stage their first victory at the tournament.

Kim Doyeon’s own goal handed the Nigerian contingent the lead after the 29th minute of the action with VAR being employed to confirm its authenticity.

Both teams, however, struggled to score before the half time but neither side was bold enough to find the back of the net. However, with 15 minutes left on the clock, Barcelona women’s striker Asisat Oshola gave the Super Falcons the insurance goal as they head into their third group game against France.

Dennerby’s ladies will also be praying the match between the French team and Norway to favour them as to qualification for the next stage of the competition.
