Nigeria\u2019s Super Falcons fell to a 1-0 defeat against Brazil in their opening Group C fixture at the 2024 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

The Super Falcons were in ascendancy early in the game, carving out three good chances in the first 25 minutes.<\/p>\n

Chiwendu Ihezuo\u2019s close-range effort was saved by Brazil goalkeeper Lorena.<\/p>\n

Lorena also produced a superb save to deny midfielder Christy Ucheibe from outside the box.<\/p>\n

Osinachi Ohale then nodded over the bar from Toni Payne\u2019s superb cross.<\/p>\n

Brazil captain Martha netted in the 33rd minute but the goal was ruled out for offside.<\/p>\n

Brazil took the lead through Gabi Nunes eight minutes before the break.<\/p>\n

Nunes slammed the ball into the net after she was set up by Martha.<\/p>\n

The Samba Girls dominated the game in the second half, with Martha hitting the upright six minutes after the break.<\/p>\n

Lorena made a superb save to deny Ajibade afterwards.<\/p>\n

Brazil held on to their lead to move to the top of Group C with Spain, who defeated Japan 2-1 earlier in the day.<\/p>\n
