Falconets beat Tunisia 4-0 in return leg qualifiers

The Nigerian U-20 women football team, the Falconets, on Sunday qualified for the final round of the World Cup qualifiers after defeating Tunisia 4-0 in the return leg match in Tunisia.

Nigeria won the first leg of the second round qualifiers match against Tunisia 4-0 at the National Stadium, Abuja, on Dec. 14.

The team’s Media Officer, Elizabeth Kah, said in a telephone interview after the match on Sunday that the team was delighted to make it to the next round.

She said that Winifred Eyebhorid opened scoring for the team in the 13th minute of play, while Patience Okaeme scored the second goal, as the first half ended 2-0.

She said that Uchechi Sunday scored the third goal, while Patience Okaeme scored the fourth goal before the end of the second half.

Kah said that the Falconets would depart Tunisia on Tuesday to resume camp in Abuja, adding, however, that there would be no Christmas break for the players.
