Three-time quarter-finalists will square off against the Super Falcons of Nigeria at the Suncorp Stadium on Kilamity live stream. The host nation picked up all the points over a strong Ireland team, while Nigeria stood their ground against Canada to share the spoils. The Super Falcons head here with the hope of securing their first three points of the tournament after their resilience display against the Canucks.
The host nation began their journey with a slim (1-0) victory over Ireland. Australia, who had made it out of the group phase over their previous four appearances, had to score from the spot to secure the maximum points against a defensive Republic of Ireland team. Australia created many scoring opportunities; however, the Republic of Ireland’s defence was too strong for them to penetrate.
The Super Falcons head into this competition for the ninth consecutive season, and their best result was a quarter-final finish in 1999. They started their campaign in this tournament with a remarkable performance against Canada. After conceding a penalty in the 49th minute, the player of the match, Nnadozie, did well to deny all-time leading scorer Christine Sinclair the opportunity to score.
