Goals by Amina Bello, Chiamaka Okwuchukwu, Flourish Sabastine and substitute Joy Igbokwe against Venezuela in Cali on Saturday took two-time silver medallists Nigeria to the Round of 16 of the ongoing FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup.
Amina guided home a cut-back by the irrepressible Chiamaka for the first goal against the South Americans in the 16th minute, before Chiamaka turned goalscorer in the 28th minute when she met a corner kick with a bullet header to make it 2-0 for Nigeria.
Chiamaka, who scored Nigeria’s only goal in their 1-3 loss to Germany on Wednesday night, was at it again in added time of the first half, when she assisted Flourish with a pull-out that the latter converted to put daylight between both countries.
