The Flamingos have crashed out of the U-17 Women’s World Cup after losing out to the US in the quarter-final on Saturday.
Nigeria won all three games in Group A of the competition, scoring nine goals and bagging the same points to reach the last eight.
But against the US at Santiago, Nigeria looked lethargic and rarely threatened their opponent. Topscorer Moshood Bashirat then compounded matters for the Flamingos after her tackle on Jocelyn Travers was adjudged as a penalty following a lengthy video review
US’ Kennedy Fuller wasted no time in tucking the spot kick away just two minutes before the first half.
In the second half, Nigeria did little to restore the parity and expectedly gave away another goal.
🏁 FULL TIME! in Santiago 📍
Nigeria 🇳🇬 0-2 United States 🇺🇲
The journey of our sisters, the Flamingos, in the Dominican Republic may have ended, but we trust they will gain valuable lessons and return stronger for the tasks ahead in Morocco next year.#SoarFlamingos #NGAUSA pic.twitter.com/aoupTTYHgx
