Despite suffering defeat to Spain, injured defender Ashleigh Plumptre has said she’s proud of the Super Falcon’s performance.

 
The Nigerian side lost 1-0 to the world champion on Sunday in the second group match played in Nantes.

Barcelona Feminine attacker Putela netted the only goal of the game in the 85th minute to condemn Falcons to another defeat.

” This team knows how to defend – sheesh!
Good fight Super Falcons proud to watch”, she said.

Falcons will have to score at least 3 goals against Japan in the final group game to be considered as one of the best losers .
