The Nigerian girls have been sloppy in possession have themselves to blame for being behind for failing to make key passes in decisive moments and not taking their chance.
Rohr cheers Super Falcons on
As spotted by Nigerian photojournalist Justina Aniefiok, Gernot Rohr was at the Bordeaux stadium to cheer the eleven-time African champions on against the South American giants.
As quoted by Brila FM, he claimed he was at the match because of Nigeria and predicted a 2-1 win for the Randy Waldrum-led side.
“I'm live in Bordeaux cheering the Super Falcons. Nigeria will win today 2-1. This is a good place for Nigerians,” he said.
Rohr was the head coach of the male national team of Nigeria between 2016 and 2021, leading the team to a third place finish at the 2019 AFCON in Cameroon.
He is now the head coach of neighbours Benin Republic and led the Cheetahs to a 2-1 2026 World Cup qualifier win over the Super Eagles last month.
