“We were pained and heartbroken last night, I want to apologize to the fans that believed in us.”

“We have picked ourselves up and will do all we can to win the bronze medal.” She concluded.

Nigeria will face Germany for a second time in the tournament on Sunday, October 30.
Flamingos lost their group opener to the Europeans by 2-1 in their group opener.
