Yet the 1st African Women's team to reach a World-Cup Final!

Nigeria became the first African team to reach the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup final as they overcame Columbia with a 2nd-minute goal in Bielefeld.

They now face Germany in the same stadium on Sunday, as the host nation eased past Korea Republic to earn a chance to lift the trophy for the second time.

There was an amazing start to the game as Nigeria scored within the first two minutes. It began with what was no more than a hopeful shot up field by captain Joy Jegede, standing just inside the opposition half. The ball landed in the penalty area where the high bounce took it over goalkeeper Paula Forero and against the bar. Only Ebere Orji was alive to the possibilities and she scored easily and without pressure.

Though South American team gave their all, they were restricted to few opportunities by the powerful Falconets who seized their early chance and then produced a solid, organised performance to the delight their supporters.
