Watch all the goals as Super Falcons lose to world champions USA in Kansas City
World champions USA got the better of an under-strength Nigeria in an international friendly at the Children’s Mercy Park, Kansas City, Missouri on Saturday.
The nine-time African champions had in their ranks four members of the U20 girls who reached the quarter-finals of the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica last month, and missed the services of midfield Trojans Ngozi Okobi-Okoeghene and Halimatu Ayinde.
Defender and captain Onome Ebi, who got injured during the Women AFCON finals in Morocco, is still on the sidelines.
Sophia Smith put the home team ahead in the 14th minute, and Lindsay Horan made it two after 25 minutes.
USA 1st goals

With the first half winding down, Smith made it three from a simple tap-in just into time-added-on, with goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie at sea.

Seven minutes into the second period, Alex Morgan made it four for the Americans from the penalty spot.
USA 4th goal
Both teams will clash again in the second of a two-match tour at the Audi Field in Washington D. C on Tuesday.
