Ashleigh Plumptre praised the Super Falcons' valiant effort despite their narrow 1-0 loss to Spain. The team exhibited strong defensive skills against the reigning world champions, with Barcelona Femeni star Alexia Putellas scoring the decisive goal in the 86th minute.
Plumptre, currently sidelined from the Olympics due to injury, expressed her admiration for her teammates. "This team knows how to defend – sheesh! Good fight @NGSuper_Falcons – proud to watch," the Al-Ittihad defender posted on X.
The Super Falcons are set to face Japan in their final group game on Wednesday.
