FALCONETS EXIT WOMEN’S W’CUP AFTER LOSS TO NETHERLANDS

Nigeria bowed out of the FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup after a 2-0 loss to The Netherlands yesterday

The Falconets could not re-enact earlier round performances, which saw them winning all three group phase matches, in this their quarter-final match in Alajuela, Costa Rica.

Flourish Sabastine, who scored Nigeria’s winning goal against France in their Group C opening match, could not make hay.

The Netherlands will now meet Spain on Thursday in the first semi-final fixture after the European side beat Mexico 1-0 in the first quarter-final match on Saturday.
