Falconets thrash Rwanda’s She-Amavubi 4– 0 in Ibadan

27th September 2025

Nigeria’s U-20 girls, the Falconets, thrashed their visitors, She-Amavubi of Rwanda, 4–0 in a 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup second round, second leg qualifying match in Ibadan.

The Nigerian side displayed fantastic football artistry and dominated proceedings from the start to the end of the encounter.

Falconets were in cruise control as Precious Oscar bagged the game opener in the 15th minute of the game, throwing jubilations in the midst of teaming fans who trooped to the stadium to watch the national female football team live.

Fatimoh Adesina converted a sublime corner-kick in the 20th minute to double the lead for the hosts while Janet Akekoromowei consolidated the scoring sheet for Falconets in the 64th minute, firing a powerful strike from the box line into Rwanda’s net to hand the hosts a comfortable lead.

She-Amavubi would have secured a consolation goal in the 79th minute, but the reflexes of Falconets goalie, Christiana Uzoma, frustrated the Rwanda strikers’ efforts.

Taiwo Afolabi put the icing on Falconets’ victory cake with the fourth goal just at the official regulated time, making the match a goal-rainy game for the hosts.

Speaking during a post-match news conference, Falconets Head Coach, Moses Aduku, commended the fighting spirit of She-Amavubi, noting that the visitor refused to give up, even till the last whistle.

He noted that falconets and technical crew carefully watched the tape of the first leg game against She-Amavubi in Kigali and made necessary corrections, particularly in the goal-scoring aspect, which eventually yielded expected results.

Also, the She-Amavubi Head Coach, Andre Cassa-mbungo, said that he came to Nigeria with a game plan to win, but his team played against a better side.

He added that majority of players in the She-Amavubi team were young players that still up to three to develop themselves before Rwanda could start seeing the best of them.

NAN reports that the victory gave Nigeria a 5-0 win over Rwanda on the aggregate, having won the first leg 1-0 in Kigali.

Nigeria will play against the winner of the game between Senegal and Algeria for the third and final round of the qualifiers.

The 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup would be the 12th edition of the tournament, scheduled to be hosted by Poland.

These girls should be drafted to the Super Eagles to represent Nigeria in the World Cup Qualifiers.
We are tired of pressing calculator, doing Algebra and Probability theories to determine if we will go to the World Cup

When are we going to see core northern women representing even with their hijab on the pitch like some Egyptian, Moroccan, Algerian etc women?

There are many talents in the north but religion clouded their minds not to showcase those talents.

The girls played well, good yeam cohesion, seems their coach is good too, hope they can continue with this high spirit

Let not forget the outstanding performance of the Nigerian team captain, the lady with the number 14. She's definitely played a big role in not allowing the Rwanda team to go pass the midfield, and he really controlled our game in the defensive to the midfield. Outstanding performance.

Everyone in the stadium were saying this team could beat Man U men's team. I buy into their sentiment.
