In the U-17 women’s World Cup quarterfinal match in India, Nigeria’s Flamingos will play against the Americans.

Naija News earlier reported that The Flamingos defeated New Zealand 4-0 in their previous match and won 2-1 against Chile earlier today to earn their second victory in the competition.

The Nigerian girls won thanks to goals from captain Blessing Emmanuel and Bisola Mosaku in each half. However, a late penalty was given to Chile, but it only resulted in a consolation goal.

Along with Germany, who topped the group after defeating New Zealand 3-1, the Flamingos advance as runners-up.
