Colombia on Wednesday afternoon defeated Nigeria Flamingoes in a penalty shootout, to progress to the finals of the ongoing FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
Flamingoes goalkeeper Omilana, pulled some great saves during regulation time to keep the score goalless before being subbed off two mins before 90 for Chikamso Jiwauku.
It looked like Nigeria’s Flamingoes were on the verge of securing another famous victory at the tournament when Chikamso Jiwauku stopped Yesica Munoz’s spot kick, but misses from Omamumo Edafo and Folorunsho Comfort ensured Bankole Olowookere’s girl will have to settle for a third-place match against either Germany or Spain on Sunday 30th of October.
The presence of the newly elected president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Ibrahim Gusau couldn’t motivate the Flamingoes to continue on a trail of impressive results.
