Nigeria’s Flamingos have defeated Germany to clinch a consolatory bronze medal in the FIFA U-17 World Cup in India.
The match ended in a 3-3 draw at regulation time which resulted in a penalty shootout. The penalty then ended 3-2 in Nigeria’s favour as the team took revenge for their loss against the Europeans in their opening fixture.
Nigeria began the match in good stead and were rewarded when forward, Opeyemi Ajakaye broke her goal drought with her brilliant 20th-minute opener for the Flamingos.
