Columbia Dump Nigeria Out U17 Women World Cup

The Coach Olowookere led side lost the game 6-5 on penalties after playing out a goalless draw against the South American side.

Goalkeeper Omilana was more of the saving grace for the Nigerian girls in a game largely dominated by the Colombians as she had to keep her side in the game with some saves in the match.

Nigeria started the game much more threatening, but Colombia – after overcoming instability witnessed in the early stages of the game – recovered and managed to keep the opponents at bay.
