USA Women's head coach Jill Ellis reveals that Nigeria Women boss Edwin Ikon refused to shake her hand following Wednesday's World Cup defeat.

USA Women's coach Jill Ellis has revealed that Nigeria Women manager Edwin Okon refused to shake her hand following their World Cup group match.

Following the USA's 1-0 victory on Wednesday, Ellis approached the opposition's bench to shake hands, but she was rejected.

"I typically always go and shake the coach's hand," the Daily Star quotes Ellis as saying. "The bench personnel shook my hand and the coach, I said, 'you're not going to shake my hand?' He said, 'no.' He kind of put his hand out a little bit, but that's his call, not mine."

Okon was believed to be angry that Sarah Nnodim was sent off for a second yellow-card offence.
