Nigeria’s Under-17 Women’s team, the Flamingoes, has secured their spot in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Costa Rica. They achieved this feat after their second victory in the competition, defeating Colombia 2-1.
Despite a shaky start with an early goal conceded in the 3rd minute by Angie Rodriguez, Nikyu Bala’s team displayed resilience and determination. They quickly recovered, with Joy Bokiri and Uchenna Kanu scoring two goals to secure the win for Nigeria. This victory follows their successful start in the tournament with a win against Venezuela.
With two wins from two matches, Nigeria has already ensured their progression to the next round, making their final group stage match against Mexico a mere formality. The team has displayed impressive form, particularly in their convincing victory over China with a scoreline of 4-0.
Ghana had previously secured their spot in the quarter-finals, while Zambia has been eliminated from the competition following their second defeat.
