Super Falcons Suffers Second Straight Defeat To The United States.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria have once again lost to the world champions the United States of America in their second friendly game despite putting up a spirited performance that ended in a 2-1 defeat.

It was a much-improved display from the Falcons inside the Audi Field, Washington DC after they were hammered 4-0 by the U.S in their first meeting on Saturday.

After containing their hosts in the early part of the game, the Falcon’s defense was eventually breached in the 24th minute as Blessing Demehin put the ball into her net, but they fought back and were rewarded as Uchenna Kanu equalized in the 50th minute with a fine strike.

The Americans however went 2-1 up through Rosemary Lavelle who headed in a cross from the left off the boot of Megan Rapinoe.
