The match ended in a stunning 3-2 victory for Nigeria, who managed to overturn a deficit and secure the win in Group B.

Speaking to newsmen after the frustrating defeat to Nigeria, the Australian Coach, Tony Gustavsson said that he did not believe how her ladies were unable to score on set pieces.

He emphasized that despite missing key players like Sam Kerr and Mary Fowler in the attack, the team displayed impressive attacking sequences and managed to score two goals.
