for the third time in their history after a 0-0 draw with Ireland in their final Group B match on Monday, with the African side finishing second in the group behind hosts Australia.

So I’m so proud of them and the effort they put in and so happy for them that they’re getting to experience this,” Nigeria coach Randy Waldrum said. Brosnan came to Ireland’s rescue again when Nigeria attempted to break through the defence with a clever set-piece routine before the Everton keeper rushed off her line to snatch the ball.
