The Falconets, who had haggard England 1-1 to open Group C, now have four points and are sure to be in a good place no matter what happens in the later match between England and Mexico.The Japanese draw Mexico 3-3 in a exciting come-from-behind meet in the first round of matches, but there was not adequate play for them on Saturday as Nigeria made Amarachi Okoronkwo and want Oparanozie’s early goals stand-up in spite of Mana Iwabuchi’s second half consolation.The west Africans got the starter in just the 6th minute after Ebere Orji’s tricky cross caused a miscommunication among Shoko Yamada and goalkeeper Erina Yamane. Through a race to the ball Okoronkwo proved the fastest to touch in her first goal of the finals.
