The final day of action in Groups A and B at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Trinidad and Tobago should prove a good deal more relaxed than in the other two sections. Only pride and placings are at stake in three of the four games, with just one quarter-final place still unclaimed. There should be quite a battle for that last remaining berth, however, with the tournament hosts going head-to-head with the reigning champions.

Nigeria made their way through to the quarter-finals of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup thanks to a winner four minutes from time by Loveth Ayila against Trinidad and Tobago in Marabella. Buoyed by a rousing home atmosphere and some inspirational goalkeeping from Linfah Jones, the locals appeared set to hang on for a crucial against-the-odds point until Ayila’s late intervention.

The only issue to be decided in the other game in Group A is whether Nigeria can make sure of top spot when they meet Chile, whose loss to the North Koreans ended their hopes of progressing. Determined to bow put on a high note, the South Americans will nevertheless have to make do without defensive cornerstone Nicole Cornejo, who is suspended.

The Nigerians now face already-eliminated Chile in their final group match in Arima on Sunday.

i am enjoyin the game, just like the falconet, their passes are acurate, the midfielder is doin a great job

i keep wonderin, why cant our chicken eagles play like these gurls

Great play so far by our girls. They have a compact team and are controlling the game very well. Second half should hold more goals as the Chileans surge forward to look for goals, giving our girls more room to foray into their dangerous zone. My prediction - 5-1

MeGaStReEt:

our gurls looks young,

So our girls look U-17 or to be more accurate the 14/15 yrs they all claim to you?

Goal! 3-0
See exquisite back heel. Ol boy, Naija dey vex o.

Am so impressed with the girls but pissed at our tv stations.
a What kind of discrimination and double standard is this in football. For the men and boys every qualifying match is shown live with full commentary, but women are playing at the world stage and no local station is showing only supersports, and no studio commentary, Let me hear any of them celebrating if these girls should win.
