Nigeria's Super Falcons Eager to Face Australia in World Cup
The Super Falcons of Nigeria are eagerly anticipating their second match at the FIFA Women's World Cup against co-host nation Australia at Brisbane's Lang Park on Thursday. Following a goalless draw with Olympic champions Canada in their first match on Friday, the team is in high spirits and ready for their upcoming challenge.

Captain Onome Ebi expressed the team's enthusiasm, saying, "We are in very high spirits, I can tell you. It is the day after that massive point, and we are already looking forward to our second match. The Aussies will not be easy, but we knew before arriving in Australia that no team at this tournament will be easy."

The players were given a day off on Saturday to recover from the intense match against Canada. While Nigeria secured a point against the Olympic champions, several top performers on the team have not yet played and are eager to contribute.

Midfielders Christy Ucheibe and Deborah Abiodun showcased their talent in the early afternoon match in Melbourne, but now, with the return of suspended regulars Rasheedat Ajibade and Halimatu Ayinde, the team has more options. The versatile Jennifer Echegini and strong forward Desire Oparanozie are also eager to make an impact on the field.

"We have decided to take it one game at a time. We have to go back and correct certain lapses, like how to convert our opportunities. We cannot afford to miss good chances any longer," said defender Osinachi Ohale when discussing the team's strategy and areas of improvement after the match in Melbourne.

Nigeria's upcoming clash with Australia will take place at the Lang Park Stadium on Thursday, starting at 11 AM Nigeria time. With the arena expected to be filled to its 52,000 capacity, the Super Falcons are ready to give their all and compete fiercely in pursuit of victory.
