Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has revealed how revenge spurred her to pull off the crucial penalty save against Christine Sinclair of Canada.

Nnadozie described the save as a dream come true as it offered her the opportunity to make things right. Recall Nigeria early Friday morning secured a goalless draw against Canada at the Womens World Cup. A penalty save from Nnadozie against record-breaking goalscorer Christine Sinclair ensured Nigeria salvaged a point from the nail-biting opener for both sides.

The 40-year-old Canada skipper Sinclair was hoping to make history by becoming the first player to score at six World Cups.

But having earned the penalty following a VAR check, she missed the chance to reach that milestone early in the second half when Nnadozie saved her poor spot-kick.

It was a great thing today that we were able to at least get something and it was a dream come true for me personally, said the goalkeeper, who was named player of the match.

The 22-year-old Paris FC stopper said she wanted revenge on Sinclair - the all-time top scorer in international football - after conceding against the forward previously.

When she took the ball, I was like, ˜Okay, its Sinclair again, because the last time we played against them, she scored against me.

I was very angry, and I told myself, this is the opportunity to make things right. (Vanguard)
