Osinachi Ohale claimed the Super Falcons could have picked maximum points if they had converted their chances against Canada.
Randy Waldrum’s side held Canada to a goalless draw in their opening fixture at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup on Friday morning.
The Olympic champions missed a penalty early in the second half and dominated play.
The Super Falcons, however, carved out chances of their own with Toni Payne, Ifeoma Onumonu and Asisat Oshoala all getting close to scoring.
“It was a very difficult game, we knew it will be difficult, but we could have got the full points had we utilized our chances,” Ohale said in a video interview posted on the Super Falcons Twitter handle.
“We didn’t get our rhythm at the start, but we later stepped up and found our feet.
“We will keep working hard because we are here to compete, like the other teams.”
The nine-time African champions will face Australia in their next game on Thursday, July 27.
