The Nigerian Super Falcons have been eliminated from the women’s football tournament at the Paris 2024 Olympics after suffering a 3-1 loss to Japan in their final Group C match, even though Jennifer Echegini managed to score an impressive goal.

Despite a valiant effort, they were defeated 3-1 by Japan in their final group stage match. Jennifer Echegini’s goal was a bright spot in an otherwise tough tournament for Nigeria.

Asisat Oshoala held onto her role as the team’s number nine, despite not finding the back of the net in the loss to Spain, and could not stop Nigeria from being eliminated from the tournament early.

Echegini, the promising young forward, celebrated a successful comeback to the starting eleven after sitting out the match against Spain.

His goal not only rescued Nigeria from a goalless loss but also validated coach Randy Waldrum’s choice to bring him back into the fold.

The game held significant stakes for both teams, as it would decide who advanced to the next stage of the competition.
Rather than opting for a safe draw, Japan fought hard to clinch a win against the Nigerian women’s team.

In the 22nd minute, Maika Hamano put Japan ahead with a well-executed goal, highlighting their strong play leading up to that moment.

Just ten minutes later, Mina Tanaka added to Japan’s lead with a second goal, although Echegini managed to net the Falcons’ first goal of the tournament just before the halftime whistle.

Japan ensured that the optimism was brief by netting their third goal right before the conclusion of the initial period.
An opportunity arose for them to secure their fourth goal through a penalty kick, however, it was invalidated following a VAR assessment.
