Olympics 2024: Super Falcons' 16-Year Wait Ends in Loss to Brazil
Brazil wins 1-0 against Nigeria in Women's football at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with Gabi Nunes scoring the lone goal from a Marta assist, despite Nigeria's resilient defense and promising attacks led by Captain Rasheedat Ajibade.
Brazil kicked off their 2024 Paris Olympics campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Nigeria in the Women's football event. The winning goal was scored by Gabi Nunes, who capitalized on a brilliant assist from the legendary Marta.
Marta thought she had doubled Brazil's lead just minutes later, but her effort was ruled out, leaving the scoreline unchanged. Despite the narrow margin, Brazil dominated possession, controlling the tempo of the game.
However, Nigeria's resilient defense ensured that the margin remained slim, and the Super Falcons even carved out some promising opportunities. Captain Rasheedat Ajibade was the catalyst for Nigeria's attacks, but she lacked adequate support up front to convert those chances into goals.
