In the opening match of Group B at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, Canada and Nigeria played to a 0-0 draw. Nigeria displayed a strong performance and had opportunities to secure a win, while Canada dominated possession but was unable to find the back of the net. Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie made a crucial penalty save against Canada's veteran player, Christine Sinclair, preventing her from becoming the first player to score in six World Cups. The intense and physical game ended in a deadlock, and both teams will need to focus on winning their next matches to advance from the challenging Group B, which also includes co-hosts Australia and the Republic of Ireland. Nigeria's star player, Asisat Oshoala, struggled with fitness throughout the game, raising concerns for the team's upcoming matches.
