In a heartfelt message, Yina expressed her gratitude towards her teammates and the support they provided throughout the match.

“Jude 1:24 -25. All glory, and honor, and praise belongs to you Father, the KING of kings and LORD of lords!” she posted on X.

“Nigerians, this is for you, my teammates, this is you,” she added, highlighting her appreciation for the collective effort of her team.

Nigeria will face Germany in their next match at the tournament, aiming to build on their strong start and continue their pursuit of success.
