Brazil goalkeeper Lorena has revealed that Nigeria’s Super Falcons were difficult to play but is pleased with her team’s 1-0 victory in their opening Group C match at the 2024 Olympic Games.
The only goal of the match was scored by Gabi Nunes in the 37th minute.
Lorena delivered a standout performance, blocking attempts from Chiwendu Ihezuo, Christy Ucheibe, and Rasheedat Ajibade from hitting the back of the net.
“Brazil is very prepared. Arthur is doing an excellent job and we are very prepared,” the goalkeeper said.
“We could all see today how strong the group is, and Nigeria is a difficult team, but we deserved to win.”
“Our squad is united and we will always battle for first place.”
Brazil plays group leader and world champions, Spain on Sunday in their second group stage match.
