The Falconets of Nigeria are through to the final Playoffs for this year’s U20 Women’s World Cup in Poland after they again beat their Senegalese counterparts 2-1 on the road.
Nigeria won the first leg a week ago in Abeokuta to now go through 3-1 on aggregate.
They will now battle Malawi in the Playoffs for a ticket to the World Cup.
Today, the Falconets took the lead after 19 minutes through Kindness Ifeanyi, who was the match winner in Nigeria.
They made it 2-0 courtesy of Precious Oscar in the 68th minute, before the home team netted a consolation goal in the closing minutes of the contest.
