Sunday Oliseh 'sad but proud' of Super Falcons after France defeat

Nigeria legend Sunday Oliseh has heaped praise on the Super Falcons despite bowing to a 1-0 loss against France in their final Group A game at the Women's World Cup.

Thomas Dennerby's ladies held the hosts until the 79th minute when VAR ruled in favour of France to take their penalty twice.

Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie was adjudged to have come off her line early which gave Wendie Renard an opportunity to retake the penalty and score after her first attempt hit the post.

The defeat left Nigeria in third spot in Group A with three points from three matches.
