At the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023, England forward Chloe Kelly praised the team for its passionate performance against Nigeria.
After 120 minutes of exhilarating action, the European champions won the match 4-2 on penalties.
The Super Falcons dominated the game for the majority of it, with the Three Lionesses playing second fiddle.
When Lauren James, a dynamic winger, was dismissed in the 87th minute for stamping on Michelle Alozie, their mission became more challenging.
A total of 10 players made up Sarina Wiegman’s team throughout the extra period.
Kelly claimed that in order to win the competition, they worked extremely hard.
It’s great. We prove our strength by handling anything that is thrown at us. As a team, we worked incredibly hard, and we have faith in both our skills and the instructions we’re given, Kelly told FIFA.com.
This team is exceptional; we shown this at the Finalissima, the Euros, and we are demonstrating it once more tonight. Moving ahead, we do so. From this elite crew, more is forthcoming.
