Flamingoes Ride High in Accra, Condemn Maidens To Second Defeat In 7 Days


Rasheedat Ajibade scored a stunning winner as Nigeria U17 women defeated Ghana U17 women 2-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.


Rivers Angels youngster Cynthia Aku got her chance to shine and the skillful striker made good use of the opportunity with a solitary goal in the first half.

Lilly Nibby capitalised on a mix up in the Nigerian defence line to draw the hosts level in the 50th minute.

Bala Nkiyu's girls showed why pundits are tipping them for a cup win in Costa Rica with the match winner.

They snatched the "insurance goal" seven minutes from time through FC Robo attacking wonder, Ajibade Rashidat, who was a phobia to the Maidens.

The hosts lost the first leg match three-nil at the FIFA Goal Project Development Centre in Abuja.

The two teams are preparing for the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica which starts in March of this year.
