Super Falcons’ Skipper, Evelyn Nwabuoku
and teammate, Francisca Ordega, are confident of defeating Australia in
their next group match as they intend to pick all three points.
Falcons, which held world soccer power
Sweden to a 3-3 draw in their group opener, need a win to keep their
qualification to the next round alive and the duo say they are going for
broke against the Matildas.
"We thank God for the draw against
Sweden but our focus is now on Australia. They are a very good side,
they are fast and mobile but from what we have seen so far, we think
they are beatable; we will approach the game tactically come Friday because we need all three points.
"After the display against Sweden,
teams are now scared of us but that is not enough; we just have to work
on our shortcomings also. I appeal to our fans to keep supporting us and
praying for us because I am hundred percent sure that we will defeat
Australia," Nwabuoku said.
Similarly, scorer of Nigeria’s equalizer
against Sweden, Francisca Ordega, said she intends to score more goals
for Nigeria and also agreed with her captain that Australia will fall
come Friday.
"Australia are a good side and play good football, coupled with experience but I believe we will come out victorious on Friday. Nigerians
should expect more goals from me because I want Nigerians to be happy.
My goal before coming for the World Cup is to score goals for my team
and I believe I am working towards it. Come Friday, Nigerians should expect victory, nothing short of three points," Ordega said.
