Falconets hit S/Africa’s Basetsana 2-0EMMANUEL OKOGBA
13 JAN 2018



A brilliant performance by the Nigeria U20 girls in Polokwane drew them very close to another outing in the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup, as South Africa’s Basetsana could find no answer to the fire –power of Chris Danjuma’s maidens.

And the Falconets have a 2-0 advantage going into the second leg. 

Usual suspect Rasheedat Ajibade, the Falconets’ top scorer in this qualifying series, showed shrewdness and great ball sense in beating the home team’s goalkeeper for Nigeria’s first goal on the half –hour, and Anam Imo increased the tally for the two –time World Cup silver medallists six minutes later.

The Basetsana tried to find a way back into the game in the second period, only to meet an impregnable wall at the Nigerian rear. Goalkeeper Cynthia Nnadozie was well –protected by Sunday Opeyemi, Christy Ucheibe, Mary Ologbosere and Kemi Famuditi.

Glory Ogbonna, Bashirat Amoo, Grace Igboamalu, Imo, Ajibade and Folashade Ijamilusi all impressed at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.

Showing impressive dexterity and guile (which had seen them past Tanzania and Morocco earlier in the series), Coach Danjuma’s ladies threw everything at the home girls right from kick off, and will retain confidence of picking a ticket to the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup 2018 after the concluding encounter in Benin City in a forthnight.

The return is scheduled for the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City on Saturday, 27th January 2018.

The 9th FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup finals will hold in 7th – 26th August 2018.

Rasheedat Ajibade plays for FC Robo, Asisat Oshoala's former club and Oshoala is like a small mummy to her. It looks like Ajibade is following in the footsteps of her older colleague. Could she be a future African Player of The Year?

Before nko this is how it is supposed to be every match at any level those people have facilities but no talent we have talent but no facilities so we suppose they beat them steady

Rasheedat and asisat are here playing football
While their mates are out there fighting for hijab


Fidaus cannot survive 5mins without hijab
But I can't ever seeing these two in any


Something is fishy

Now I can see one of the few reasons why South Africans attacks Nigeria �� framing xenophobic reasons... If they cannot win on the filed, they sha wan win outside the field.
