Watch Super Falcons star Ashleigh Plumptre score 3 goals on Al-Ittihad debut against Eastern Flames in the Saudi Arabian league.
Plumptre said in an interview with The National, “Representing Nigeria is always a huge privilege but especially at a World Cup.
“Joining the team, it was never about trying to set particular goals but rather to take every camp as it came and to soak up what I was able to learn about the girls, my heritage and culture.”
The defender was one of the important players for Nigeria during the World Cup and played every single game.
Nigeria overcame the hosts and eventual semi-finalists, Australia, and advanced ahead of Olympic winners Canada.
She was part of the team that narrowly missed out on beating England in the first round of the knockout stages.
