Even though the team didn’t receive the necessary support to prepare for the tournament—no training tour, no international friendlies—we still reached this stage with home-based players. We started well, winning all three games in the group for the first time in our history. We lost to the Netherlands 2 goals to 0 in the quarterfinals thanks to two goals in the first half. And the women’s Under-20 world cup has yet to be won by an African side.
The game took place at the Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto in Costa Rica on Sunday, August 21, at 11:30 p.m. Nigerian time.
FT: Nigeria 0 VS 2 Netherlands
