A
brace each from Gift Monday, Rasheedat Ajibade and Anam Imo
earned Nigeria’s U20 girls, Falconets a 6-0 win over South Africa’s Basetsana
on Saturday and a place at the 9th FIFA U20 Women’s
World Cup.
Rasheedat
Ajibade and Anam Imo got the goals in the first leg in Polokwane, and it was
typical Ajibade who doubled Nigeria’s lead in the 21st minute before Imo
made it 3-0 only five minute later.
Ajibade
made it four in the 32nd minute, and Monday got her brace seven
minutes later as Basetsana crumbled to a 0-5 situation before half time.
Imo got
her own brace in the 73rd minute to wrap up the evening, two minutes
after Monday was expelled for a second bookable offence after a foul
on a South African opponent.
Victory
ensured Nigeria maintained her record of qualifying for every edition of the
FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup, since it was launched as an U19 competition in
Canada 16 years ago.
The
9th FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup finals will hold in France 7th –
26th August 2018
