Nigeria’s U-20 women’s team have qualified for the
quarter-finals of the ongoing FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica.
This follows another narrow 1-0 win over Korea Republic in
Alajuela.
The Falconets came out with all three points in the keenly
anticipated top-of-the-table clash.
Ahead of the match, Korea Republic were top of the log on
goal difference, having beaten Canada 2-0. Nigeria had pulled off a 1-0 win
over France.
There was little to choose between the two teams until
midfielder Esther Onyenezide’s fierce curling shot flew past Yoonji Do for the
only goal of the match in the 83rd minute.
The Falconets will play Canada in their final fixture,
before facing their quarter-final opponents from Group D.
Cup holders Japan, The Netherlands, USA and Africa’s other
flagbearer, Ghana make up Group D.
