Super Falcons of Nigeria played out a 3-3 draw against
Sweden in their opening group match at the ongoing FIFA Womens World Cup in
Canada.
Sweden took the lead though Desire Oparanozie's unfortunate
own goal after 20' of play before long, they also netted from a poor clearance
to finish the first 45 minutes 2-0.
The Falcons came out firing with some brilliance in the
second half which paid off as Ngozi Okobi and Asisat Oshoala scored to level up
with the Europeans.
A good build up from the Swedes saw them secure a third goal
but Francisca Ordega salvaged it for the Africans as she fired home with just
three minutes in the match.
