The Super Falcons of Nigeria conceded first-half goals from
Norway in their opening Group A game at the on-going 2019 Women's World Cup in
Reims.
The 1995 world champions took the lead when Guro Reiten's
shot deflected off Onome Ebi into the net. Lisa-Marie Utland fired through the
hands of keeper Tochukwu Oluehi to make it 2-0 before an own goal by Osinachi
Ohale compounded Nigeria's misery.
Nigeria will face Korea Republic in their next game on June
12, knowing that another defeat will result in early elimination from the
tournament.
