Jubilation In Super Falcons’ Camp As Scotland And Argentina Draw Match

http://aprokogang.blogspot.com/There was wild jubilation on Wednesday in the Super Falcons’ camp in Rennes, France as Argentina and Scotland played out a dramatic 3-3 draw in their final Group D match at the ongoing Women world cup.

The Argentines, who had a point before their encounter and a mathematical chance of qualification to the round of 16, found themselves on the backfoot as the Scottish cruised to a 3-0 lead before the South Americans staged a late fightback to force a 3-3 draw.

They were seen jumping out of their room, hugging and chanting victory songs, knowing that the hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 have been brightened.

They rejoiced that the same rule which almost got them knocked out of the competition favoured them with the referee ordering a retake of Argentina’s penalty, which was earlier parried by the Scotland’s goalkeeper.

Of the best third-placed teams needed, two slots have already been filled by Brazil and China with six and four points respectively.

With the 3-3 draw played by Argentina and Scotland on Wednesday, Nigeria have a brighter chance of winning.

It favours the African champions if New Zealand hold Cameroon or if either side win, but not with three goals margin.

Also, Thailand should not lose by more than three goals to Chile having earlier conceded 17 goals already.
