'It's going to be a battle' - Nigeria coach Thomas Dennerby expects tough game against South Korea

Nigeria head coach Thomas Dennerby says his side is looking forward to a tough challenge in Wednesday's Women's World Cup clash with South Korea in Grenoble.

The Super Falcons opened their campaign on a losing note with a 3-0 loss to Norway last Saturday, but will now aim to bounce back against the Asians, who bowed 4-0 to France.

While reflecting on the team's unfortunate loss in Reims, the 59-year-old coach, who is upbeat about a Round of 16 place, insists beating the South Koreans remain their top priority for now.
