THE Super Falcons will next square up against the Lionesses of England in the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup taking place in New Zealand and Australia to determine who proceeds to the quarter-final stage of the competition.
The English national team earlier today defeated their Chinese counterpart 6 -1 to top Group D thereby making the possibility of a clash between the two side fait accompli.
The Super Falcons had on Monday played out a barren draw against Ireland. With co-hosts Australia smashing Canada 4-0, Coach Randy Waldrum’s girls ended as second in Group B with five points. The Maltidas had six.
With two rounds of games played in Group D, England headed into today’s encounter as group leaders. However, they need to avoid defeat in their match against China to confirm their leadership, a feat they achieved in style.
