England edges Nigeria, advances to WWC quarter-finals FMTNews FMTSports
Chloe Kelly scored the decisive penalty in England’s quarter-final win over Nigeria at the Women’s World Cup.
England held on after playmaker Lauren James received a red card for a needless stamp and will know they have to improve if they want to add the World Cup to their European crown.England got off to a terrible start in the penalty shootout when Georgia Stanway fired wide, but Desire Oparanozie couldn’t take advantage and missed with an almost identical effort.
And they employed the same tactics against England, whose back three were regularly exposed by the Nigerian attack.“They’re very organised, very transitional, very physical and that’s exactly what we saw,” said Wiegman of Nigeria.“To come in here and play the way they did tonight, I though we were every bit as good ,” he said.“Obviously we didn’t execute on our penalties and when it gets to that point, it’s anyone’s game.
