What an upset!
Australia came into its game against Nigeria as clear favorites, the 10th best team in the globe entering the World Cup against the 40th, not to mention the fact that the Matildas were playing at home in front of so many of their fans.
But Nigeria scored three times in a massive upset loss for the Aussies, including Asisat Oshoala coming off the bench to score the third goal for the Super Falcons.
Her celebration was the best: She pulled off her jersey a la Brandi Chastain, tearfully put her head down to the grass, and later dropped an F-bomb in her interview.
Yep. Perfect (WARNING: NSFW language ahead!):
ARE YOU KIDDING ME 🇳🇬
