The Super Falcons returned to the Olympic stage for the first time in 16 years, TNG understands.

The Brazilian team led the game in the 37th minute after Gabi Nunes fired a shot from a very comfortable spot in the 18-yard box beating Falcon defender, Chiamaka Nnadozie.

The second goal by the Brazilian side was ruled out by the Republic of Korea referee, Yu-Jeong Kim.

Although the Brazilian side dominated most of the first half, Waldrum’s team also had a fair share of the game.

The Falcons who were hungry to lead made several efforts to overturn the game but their opponent held onto the lead until Kim blew the final whistle.

The victory put Brazil in second place in Group C while Spain is top of the group after defeating Japan 2-1.

The Falcon are last in the group and are set to face Spain while Brazil will clash with Japan.
