Nigeria’s Flamingos crash out of U-17 World Cup after losing to Columbia

Nigeria has failed to qualify for a spot in the final of this year’s U-17 Women’s World Cup in India.

Wednesday’s tie was a historic moment for both Nigeria and Colombia as it was their first Semi-final game ever in the history of the competition.

The Flamingos lost 6-5 to Colombia on penalties in their semi-final clash on Wednesday, October 26.

The game had ended 0-0 after regulation time, as both teams failed to score any goals.

The Flamingos will play the winner of the second semi-final match between Germany and Spain on Wednesday.

Before the game at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa, the Flamingos were runners-up in Group B of the competition. They lost to Germany in their first match, dispatched New Zealand, and defeated Chile to earn a last-eight ticket.
