Randy Waldrum’s strategy was clear; his team sat back and soaked up the pressure, allowing Spain to take control of possession, and La Roja had 64 percent of the ball possession, having seven shots on target with another five blocked.
The Paris FC shotstopper showed again why she is among the best in her position, putting up an impressive display with a string of brave saves.
However, it was the outstanding performance from Nnadozie that kept the Falcons in the game until Alexia Putellas’ 86th-minute goal broke Nigeria’s coordinated defence.
One of the highlights of her performance was pulling off a point-blank save to deny Alexis Putellas from turning in a cross in the 44th minute.
Fans swarmed social media to sing praise of the 23-year-old goalkeeper.
