Nigeria’s Falconets moved one step closer to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup after a strong 2-1 win over Senegal U20 Women’s National Team on Saturday.
The Moses Aduku-tutored lads were calm and confident at the Annexe du Stade du Sénégal in Rufisque, sealing a 3-1 victory on aggregate to reach the final qualifying round.
Kindness Ifeanyi opened the scoring in the first half, rising highest to head in a corner. Precious Oscar then wrapped things up with another headed goal after the break.
