BREAKING: England has beaten Nigeria on penalties to make it to the quarter-final of the World Cup.
While England settled ahead of the half-time interval, Nigeria still looked dangerous and could have been in front had it not been for two blocks from centre-back duo Millie Bright and Jess Carter.
The introduction of five-time African player of the season Oshoala failed to break a mid-match lull, though Russo wasted a decent chance when she headed over from Alex Greenwood’s inviting free-kick.With extra-time looming, England came close through a towering Daly header, though Nigeria fans were also on the edge of their seats as Oshoala found space only to fire over.
Boosted by their numerical advantage, the Super Falcons had a decent penalty appeal waved away when Alozie was bundled over by Lucy Bronze, and the same player sliced wide from close-range shortly after. England were relieved to reach penalties given James’ dismissal but the shootout did not initially go as planned, Stanway firing wide with the Lionesses’ first attempt.
