Nigeria U-17 female football team thrash Namibia

Nigeria’s U-17 Women football team, Flamingoes, walloped hosts Namibia 5-0 in the second round of the second-leg qualifier for the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifier yesterday, at the Sam Nujoma Stadium, Windhoek, Namibia.

A brace from Cynthia Aku plus strikes from Rasheedat Ajibade, Patience Dike and Yetunde Fajobi were enough for the Flamingoes to record an emphatic 9-0 aggregate win over the Baby Gladiators and qualify for the next stage of the qualifying round. 

Nigeria will meet South Africa for a chance to qualify for the 2016 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup billed for Jordan later in the year.
