Led by a stingy defense — and a little help from its goal posts — Equatorial Guinea nearly pulled out a stunning draw in Wednesday’s Group D opener against Norway in Augsburg, Germany.
The Nzalang Nacionals gained their first ever entry into the Women's World Cup beating South Africa, 3-1 in the semi-finals of the 2010 Women's African Championships. They lost to Nigeria 4-2 in the finals but their gutsy performance earned them many kudos.
The game could have turned as early as the second minute, but the first smooth Norway attack ended when a diagonal shot from Haavi struck the inside of the post.
We showed for long periods against Germany that we could match them. Admittedly they were a class above for the final 20 minutes, but the first 70 were very positive and we can go into the tournament with every confidence,” added Stensland.
