Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie <\/a>endured a painful afternoon at Wembley as Brighton & Hove Albion were beaten 4-0 by Manchester City in the Women’s FA Cup final, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports<\/strong>.<\/p>\n However, despite the heavy defeat to the WSL champions<\/a>, the Nigeria international still managed to avoid a piece of unwanted history.<\/p>\n Nnadozie arrived at the final hoping to win the first major trophy of her career in English football after joining Brighton from Paris FC last summer. Instead, she found herself under relentless pressure from a Manchester City side determined to complete a historic domestic double.<\/p>\n The scoreline was heavy, but it could have been even worse for Brighton without the 25-year-old’s interventions. Nnadozie produced several important saves throughout the contest to keep City’s tally at four goals. Had she conceded one more, she would have become the first goalkeeper in two decades to let in five goals in a Women’s FA Cup final.<\/p>\n That statistic will offer only limited comfort to the Nigerian international, who experienced another unwanted first. Since moving to England, Nnadozie had never conceded four goals in a single match. Before Sunday’s final, the most she had allowed in a game was three, which happened against West Ham United and Manchester United during the Women’s Super League season.<\/p>\n The final result also overshadowed what had been an impressive debut campaign in England. Nnadozie kept six clean sheets<\/a> in 19 league appearances and added two more shutouts during Brighton’s run to Wembley. Her performances were crucial as the Seagulls eliminated Nottingham Forest, Liverpool<\/a> and Arsenal to reach the club’s first major cup final.<\/p>\n Brighton actually began the match brightly and looked capable of causing an upset. Fran Kirby found pockets of space around City’s penalty area, Kiko Seike repeatedly threatened down the right flank and Maisie Symonds impressed in midfield. However, Dario Vidosic’s side failed to make their early pressure count.<\/p>\n While Brighton struggled to convert their chances, Manchester City punished almost every mistake.<\/p>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/zo8idlCf3gbLCZBeOFygBetRFfE=\/4506x3004\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F05%2Fimago1076869001.jpg\")
