Australia, which is also hosting the 2023 FIFA World Cup, and the Nigerian Super Falcons have qualified for the knockout round of the competition, which is now taking place in Australia and New Zealand.
With a 4–0 victory over Canada, the Australian Maltidas lead group B with six points, one point more than Nigeria, which could only manage a scoreless tie with the Republic of Ireland.
Despite managing 4 points in the group stage, Australia’s victory diminished the chances of the Olympic champions qualifying past that level.
Following the conclusion of the Group B matches, Nigeria will play the Group D winner in the knockout round, and Australia, the Group B champion, will play the Group D runner-up.
