"The Super Falcons were impressive against Brazil despite losing 1-0. In football, it's either you win or lose. And it's so unfortunate that the team narrowly lost to Brazil," he told Complete sports.

Time to Refocus

Agu emphasised the importance of learning from the Brazil match and strategising for the upcoming game against World Champions Spain.

"With that result, we have to go back to the drawing board for them to see what they need to do well in the next game against Spain," he stated.

Underrated Champions

While speaking on last night's defeat to Brazil, Alloy Agu highlighted some positives from the Super Falcons' display, adding that they are a team nobody should underrate.

"Honestly, the Super Falcons are a team you can't underrate no matter the team they play. Yes, they have lost the first game, and the next point of call will be how the team can bounce back against Spain."

A Tough Match ahead for Falcons

Agu predicts a challenging encounter for Spain, praising the Super Falcons' determination.

"Spain has to prepare well because the Super Falcons will give them a run for their money. I am confident the team will get a positive result against Spain," he concluded.

The Super Falcons seek redemption in their next Olympic match against world champions Spain who defeated Japan 2-1 in Group C’s opener in Nantes on Sunday evening.
