Following their 3-0 defeat by China, the Super Falcons are expected to face Romania for a chance to win the bronze medal. Irrespective of the gallant battle Thomas Dennerby and his team put up against Chinese Steel Roses, they were unable to score a single goal during the match.

After the match, Thomas Dennerby said that the only consolation his team will get will be winning the match against Romania and securing the third position. He said that the match helped them learn important things that can be useful during the next game and in the FIFA women's world cup.

Following the match against the Super Falcons, the coach of Steel Roses, Jia Xiuquan said that they now have an idea of what to expect during the FIFA world cup when they face South Africa. He said that his team will enjoy the benefits of the game during the world cup.

The coach noted that the Super Falcons are strong opponents and even if they won with a wide margin, the game helped him see some of the Chinese team's weaknesses. He noticed some gaps in the quality of the game on an individual and physical level. According to him, his team was victorious because they had home advantage.

Xiuquan commended the locals in Meizhou Wuhua who gave him and his team a warm welcome. He said this was an ideal one stop for his team. In his words:

“By facing the Nigerian Super Falcons, the Chinese Steel Roses were able to gather experience that can be used against their future rivals, South Africa, during the world cup.

We will use the next few months to work hard and give everyone exciting games.”
