Super Falcons goalkeeper Nnadozie can't stop saving penalties after latest Paris masterclass

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie's heroics inspired Paris FC women to a comeback victory in France.

Chiamaka Nnadozie produced another penalty-saving masterclass as Paris FC fought back from 2-0 down to beat Le Havre FC 3-2 in a pulsating French Division 1 Féminine encounter.

Pulse Sports Nigeria reports that Le Havre raced into a two-goal lead at the break, but Nigerian shot-stopper Nnadozie refused to let her side's Ligue 1 title hopes slip as she inspired a remarkable second-half turnaround on Wednesday night.

Nnadozie shines again for Paris

Within six second-half minutes, Paris had drawn level through a quick-fire Louna Ribadeira double as the momentum swung in dramatic fashion.

But the drama was only just beginning. Le Havre were handed a golden chance to restore their lead from the penalty spot, only for the outstanding Nnadozie to produce another crucial spot-kick save.

Her heroics proved the catalyst for a grand finish as hat-trick hero Ribadeira fired home a last-gasp 89th-minute winner to complete an astonishing comeback victory.

Nnadozie's performance was the epitome of inspiration between the sticks, with five saves including her latest penalty defying exploits.

The 23-year-old has now saved two penalties in her last four games, enhancing her blossoming reputation as a world-class shot-stopper.

For Le Havre, it was a case of what could have been, as they paid the ultimate price for failing to make their first-half dominance count.

But the day belonged to Super Falcons’ Nnadozie and Paris, who closed the gap between them and second-placed PSG to five points.
