Super Falcons head coach, Thomas Dennerby, is optimistic they can beat South Korea when the two sides face-off in a Group A clash of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup on Wednesday at Stade des Alpes in France.

Speaking during a press conference on Tuesday in readiness for the clash, Dennerby said that beating the South Koreans remain their top priority in their quest for a place in the Round of 16.

“First of all, we have to focus on winning our next game against South Korea because if we don’t get three points, then we are totally out,” said Dennerby.
