Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has reacted to Nigeria’s 3–2 defeat to Malawi in their opening match of WAFCON 2026.
Reacting, she mentioned this really hurts the team, citing this was not the result they wanted.
Here was her exact statement:
This one hurts really bad. Not the result we wanted, but the fight was real. we left it all on the field, but it wasn’t enough to get the three points.
We take full responsibility for our performance against a very tough opponent. It stings, but we grow. falls hurt, but we do not stay down.
Head high, heart full. Proud of this team, always.
Softfootball understands this reaction comes after she was criticised by fans for repeatedly coming off her line to stop Malawi’s counter‑attacks. She succeeded several times, but was eventually punished, leading to the first and second goals.
