FALCONETS FACE ENGLAND TODAY FOR U-20 WORLD CUP QUARTER-FINAL TICKET
Nigeria’s Falconets will face England’s Young Lionesses today in a highly anticipated FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Round of 16 encounter in Poland.
The match at Stadion Miejski in Bielsko-Biała comes after Nigeria produced a stunning 10-1 victory over New Caledonia to qualify for the knockout stage.
Moses Aduku’s team had earlier lost 2-0 to Spain and drawn 0-0 with China, but the emphatic final group-game victory lifted Nigeria into second place in Group F.
Winner Onajite David scored a hat-trick against New Caledonia, while several other Nigerian attackers also got on the scoresheet. Benfica forward Janet Akekoromowei was among the players who impressed during the victory.
England reached the Round of 16 after finishing third in Group B. The winner of today’s match will advance to the quarter-finals, where Poland or Colombia awaits.
