The Super Falcons of Nigeria lost 4-1 to Austria in their opening game at the Cyprus Women’s Cup.

Falcons goalkeeper, Tochukwu Olehi got sent off 5 minutes into the game which forced the coach to take out midfielder Cecilia Nku and bring on Christy Ohiaeriaku as a replacement for the goalkeeper.

Austria opened the scoring in the 48th minute via a Tor Nina Burger strike. Then Nicole Billa doubled the lead for Austria in the 59th minute.

Asisat Oshoala scored the only goal for the current African Champions in the 65th minute, however, it didn’t count for much as Austria’s Laura Feiersinge made it three in the 72nd minute

The win for the Austrian side was sealed in the 82nd minute when Jennifer Klein scored her first international goal after she converted a ball through to her by Elisabeth Mayr.

Speaking to Soccernet.ng after the game, Super Falcons striker Ngozi Okobi said despite the result it wasn’t a bad game for the team.

“It was a very good first half because it wasn’t obvious we had a red card,” Ngozi told Soccernet.ng.

“We had many lapses in the second half, but not that bad because it’s something we can improve on,” she concluded.
