Super Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum, has attributed his team’s 1-0 defeat to Spain at the 2024 Olympic Games to poor marksmanship. Despite creating several scoring chances, the team failed to convert them, leading to their second consecutive defeat.
Waldrum acknowledged that his team had three to four good opportunities, but regretted that they were not converted. He specifically mentioned a breakaway chance in the first half that was missed by Asisat and Rasheedat Ajibade.
However, Waldrum expressed pride in his team’s performance, stating that they have shown they can compete with any team in the world. He noted that they lost to two of the best teams in the world, Spain and Brazil, but demonstrated that they could have gotten something out of those matches.
The coach’s assessment highlights the team’s potential and their ability to compete at the highest level, but also underscores the need to improve their finishing skills to achieve better results.
