Nigeria stunned co-hosts Australia at the Women’s World Cup on Thursday, earning a famous 3-2 victory
Emily van Egmond sent the home fans into delirium just before the interval, tapping home a sweeping move to give Australia the lead. With the stadium bouncing as the Australia fans celebrated, Uchenna Kanu delivered the first sucker punch to dampen the mood at the Brisbane Stadium, somehow managing to scramble home a scuffed cross to score Nigeria’s first goal of the 2023 tournament.
Those fans’ passion and commitment was eventually rewarded, Van Egmond steering a well-directed cross into the bottom corner and ran to celebrate with the rest of her teammates and coaching staff. The goal was met with thunderous, almost deafening applause and it looked like Australia, who had beaten Ireland in its opening group game, was well on its way to booking its spot in the knockout stages of the Women’s World Cup. But the Super Falcons had other ideas.
