Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala and Uchechi Sunday both scored twice to send the Super Falconets into the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Canada 2014 semi-finals at the expense of New Zealand with a 4-1 win in wet conditions in Moncton.

Nigeria started quickly, just as Peter Dedevbo’s side did against Korea Republic in the group stage, with Oshoala scoring just 31 seconds into the game, finishing an attack that began from the kick-off. Ugo Njoku sent in an inch-perfect cross from the right in between two New Zealand defenders, and the No4 calmly headed home from six yards.

Oshoala doubled Nigeria’s lead 11 minutes later. Chinwendu Ihezuo sent a delightful ball into space, beating four Kiwi defenders with the pass, for Oshoala to chase down. The speedy forward took one touch towards goal and finished cooly through Lily Alfeld's legs.

Six minutes from time, Sunday, six yards out, blasted home from a corner kick to extend Nigeria’s lead to 3-0. Rolston at least ensured New Zealand would not crash out of the quarter-final without the consolation of goal, beating her defender to the near post and redirecting Jasmine Pereira’s cross past Chiichii to make it 3-1 after 89 minutes. In the waning seconds, however, Nigeria restored their three-goal lead when Sunday scored her second goal in six minutes. The pacey No20 dribbled down the left, beat her defender and calmly finished past Anfeld.

Having won three games in a row, Nigeria will enter the semi-finals - and a showdown with Korea DPR - full of confidence.

Good one Falconets! Does AIT show d matches?

The koreans are very trickish and can run for 90 minutes.The falconets should be very careful.
Nigeria 2-1 Korea

WTF I THOUGHT THE MATCH WILL BE TOMOROW

Win or lose,that coach should not repeat that rolling on the field celebration..that was so silly.He is not a kid

gbosaa: Win or lose,that coach should not repeat that rolling on the field celebration..that was so silly.He is not a kid

That was Coach Dedevbo's 1st quarter final triumph after leading the u-17s to quarter final losses in 2010 and 2012. So you understand why he kept on rolling on the pitch after the game.

dagr8: North Korea were the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship winners, and won the AFC Women's Asian Cup in 2001, 2003 and 2008.
Nigeria on the other hand won the African U-20 Cup of Nations for Women in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012.
Is going to be a nice cracker wink

Which of the Koreans did we play during the group stages

I see our ladies holding the cup already.
Ride on Girls!

Win95: Which of the Koreans did we play during the group stages

South korea

the Koreans are good...agreed but very slow and confused in front of goal...simple tactics....defend well and take your chances...gbam...final on Sunday... nice substitution by the coach...the girls can bring home the trophy...i believe in them...

The good news for the Falconets is that Oshoala's yellow card has been wiped out. Single yellow cards are not carried into the semifinals.

That was one of the most awkward displays I,ve ever seen from a football coach/manager.

He acted so bizarre.

Thanks.

When U remember Sunday Mba on Sunday in AFCON and Sunday Uchechi on Sunday too doing exceptionally well on the field of play on Sunday(s), U can't but think that our teams needs players bearing the names of days of the week (Sun-Sat), thereby brutalizing other teams in any days of the week.

Go team Nigeria and make us BLUSH,coz u've made us proud already.
God bless Nigeria, God bless our teams...

Nigeria VS North Korea..

Germany VS France..

Seriously, We can Win this Cup..

France is just over-rated.. They played Shīt against South Korea Yesteday and it took PKs to save their āss..

Germany on the other hand will beat France and we will meet again in the Finals..

The only thing about North Korea is, We must not Zone Mark them.. They are Short and Very fast.. We must Use our height as our advantage..

Bimfo: Nigeria VS North Korea..

Germany VS France..
