Breaking: Flamingos beat USA, reach U-17 Women’s W’Cup semis






Nigeria’s U-17 women’s national team, the Flamingos on Friday afternoon defeat the USA in a nervy penalty shootout to reach the semi-finals of the U-17 Women’s World Cup for the first time in India.

The young Nigerian girls triumphed on penalties 4-3 after full time ended 1-1.


Flamingos scored first in the 27th minute after Omamuzo Edafe converted from the penalty spot, but the Americans equalised in the
40th minute off a deflected Amelia Villarreal shot inside the box.

The Flamingos had consistently failed to get past the last eight of the competition since it was first hosted in 2008, but with the hard-fought win, Bankole Olowookere’s side broke the jinx to reach the final four of the cadet tournament.
