Nigeria’s Falconets got their campaign at this year’s FIFA women’s World Cup in Costa Rica off to a winning start after edging France 1-0 in Group D opening game early Friday.
The game which was played in the early hours of the morning saw Flourish Sabastine get the only goal late in the second half.
On 20th minute mark the game was suspended by Mexican referee Francia González due to heavy rain.
The game later resumed and while France who almost broke the deadlock on several occasions, Sebastine notched what proved to be the winner for the Nigerian girls.
Next up for the Falconets is a second Group D clash with South Korea on Sunday.
