Nigeria beat Mexico 3-0 – Under 17 women world cup

The Nigeria’s Flamingoes top its group by beating Mexico 3 – 0 at the
Under 17 Women’s World Cup on going at Estadio Nacional on
March 23, 2014 in San Jose, Costa Rica to claim all 9 points from group D.
The Flamingoes beat Mexico with a deserved 3-0 scoreline to
leapfrog their opponents at the top of Group D and set up a quarter-
final showdown with Spain.
The Africans rarely looked liked being hauled in after racing to an
early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Rasheedat Ajibade and Uchenna
Kanu.
The deadlock was broken on 12 minutes after Mexican goalkeeper
Emily Alvarado could only parry a low cross into the path of Ajibade
who easily buried the loose ball.
The North Americans could have equalised almost immediately, but
Jacqueline Crowther struck the post with an awkward effort after the
goalkeeper had been caught out of position.
It was to prove costly as Nigeria quickly doubled their advantage
with Aminat Yakubu reacting quickest to a loose ball in the penalty
area and crossing for Kanu to nod home from close range.
Kanu then missed a gilt-edged chance at the back post by a matter of
millimetres and the chance to virtually end the contest.
Yakubu did just that when she collected a much-deserved goal just
prior to the hour mark after heading home Kanu’s well-flighted cross.
Crowther was invariably involved in Mexico’s dangerous moments in
attack and the tall blond attacker narrowly came close to getting El
Tri on the board on several occasions, but Nigeria were always
comfortable winners.
How far do you think dey can go in the tournament ?
