What you saw was England having a little more experience in playing these kinds of matches, being able to play with a man down and managing the game. Maybe that’s where we fell short,” Waldrum said after the game.</h3> <h3/> <h3>Nigeria lost to England 4-2 on penalties, despite having a player advantage following the sending off of Lauren James, who was shown a straight red for stamping on Michelle Alozie.</h3> <div class="awac-wrapper"> <div class="awac widget text-16"> <div class="textwidget"> <p><em><strong>If you use the quotes from this content, you legally agree to give www.brila.net the News credit as the source and a backlink to our story.
