It took until the last moments of the group stages of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup for the Falcons to take up flight and qualify for the second round

for the Falcons to take up flight and qualify for the second round of the tournament, where they will face Germany on Saturday.

In order to have a chance against the two-time world champions, they must replicate all the good things they did against France and South Korea and try as much as possible to eliminate all the mistakes they made in their three group matches.In the three matches played so far, the Falcons had just three attempts on target – an average of one a game, a truly dismal stat for any team looking to be successful.

The trio of Asisat Osoala, Ordega, and Desire Oparanozie must work more in tandem to create more scoring chances for one another though they will need some help from the midfielders.Against France, the Falcons did not concede the first shot on target until the 65th minute as the central defenders – Onome Ebi and Osinachi Ohale were very disciplined in charging and closing down spaces immediately it developed in front of them.

Their opponents are a wily and experienced bunch, who have made 56 scoring attempts and 25 have hit the target.In the 4-0 victory over South Africa in their last group game, the Germans scored two headers – one direct from a corner.The other was a goalkeeping mistake.
