The chances of the Super Falcons flying high at this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup are now in serious jeopardy after they lost their seventh straight game to Colombia in the invitational Revolution Cup in Mexico.
Youngster Linda Caicedo, who is reportedly wanted by both Barcelona and Real Madrid, scored the ninth minute winner in a match the South Americans dominated.
Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie pulled off several saves to keep the scoreline respectable, while up front the nine-time African champions lacked ideas.
Serious questions are now being asked about the future of coach Randy Waldrum, who has now led Nigeria to a seventh straight defeat since the women’s AFCON in Morocco last year.
The Falcons also lost 1-0 to hosts Mexico in an opening game of the Revolution Cup.
They will feature in another invitational tournament in Turkey in April.
