Coach Bankole Olowookere’s Flamingos have advanced into the third round of the 2024 FIFA U-17 women’s World Cup qualifiers after thrashing Central African Republic 6-0, in the second leg on Friday at the MKO Abiola stadium, Abuja.
The Nigeria girls secured a comfortable 0-6 away win over the Central African Republic in Douala Cameroon last weekend.
The result means the Flamingos got through 12-0 on aggregate.
At the Federal Capital territory, Abuja Harmony Chidi gave the Nigerian team the lead in the 2nd minute and added the second in the 14th minute.
In the 36th minute, Ojiyovwi made it 3-0 before Kareem added the fourth and fifth goals on 55 and 85 minutes respectively.
However, Harmony completed her hat-trick when she struck in the 90th minute.
Three teams will represent Africa at this year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Dominican Republic.
The competition will run from October 16 to November 3, 2024.
It would be recalled that Nigeria finished third at the last edition of the World Cup hosted by India.
Bankole Olowookere’s side is still waiting for their final-round opponent.
