The Falconets continued their impressive run in their quest for Nigeria’s first U-20 Women’s World Cup title in Costa Rica on Thursday by defeating their Canada 3-1.
The result sees them topping Group C with a perfect record after defeating France and South Korea in their previous group matches.
Two goals from Esther Onyenezide, and one from Chioma Olise made the difference for the Falconets who will take on Netherland in the quaterfinals on Sunday.
Former coach of the Super Falcons, Godwin Izilein had on Wednesday tippee the Falconets would go far in the U-20 Women World Cup in Costa Rica if they maintain the same discipline.
The former Falcons’ handler called for continuity and gradual integration of some players into the senior women’s team.
“The NFF must encourage these girls by making sure nothing distracts them; give them anything due to them without asking.
“As for the coaches, they must be trained and retrained if we are to keep getting the best out of these girls,” he stated.
