Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie endured disappointment at Wembley as Brighton & Hove Albion Women fell 4-0 to Manchester City in the Women’s FA Cup final on Sunday.
Nnadozie was one of Brighton’s standout performers despite the heavy defeat, making six saves from the 10 shots she faced as Manchester City completed a historic domestic double in front of 43,917 spectators.
The Nigerian international was called into action several times during a lively opening half as Brighton threatened through Fran Kirby, Kiko Seike and Maisie Symonds but failed to convert their chances.
City eventually broke the deadlock in the 38th minute when Jamaican striker Khadija Shaw headed home before skipper Alex Greenwood doubled the advantage with a low free-kick from 20 yards.
Brighton entered the contest seeking the first major trophy in the club’s history and matched the Women’s Super League champions for long spells of the game.
