Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie was the hero as her penalty save in the 50th minute ensured that Nigeria’s Super Falcons earned a point in a goalless draw from the Group B opener of the FIFA Women’s World Cup against Canada.

Both teams canceled out each other in a game that had very few chances, and one where a single goal could have been enough for the side that scored first to win it.
