Nigeria’s Flamingos Thrash New Zealand in FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup Opener.

Flamingos have begun their campaign at the 2024 FIFA U17 Women's World Cup on a winning note, defeating New Zealand 4-1.

Shakirat Moshood found the back of the net in the second minute of the encounter to register her name in the history books, having scored the tournament's opening goal. The exciting star pounced on a pass from Harmony Chidi to give Nigeria the lead

Her early strike set the tone for an impressive performance by the Flamingos as Taiwo Adegoke barely ten minutes later. 
Farida Opeyemi Abdulwahab made it 3-0 for the West Africans in the 23rd minute to cap off a dominant first-half display. Coach Bankole Olowookere returned from the tunnel, firing from all cylinders in the second half, and Taiwo Tewogbola Afolabi extended the lead in the 55th minute. New Zealand continued to fight, and they were rewarded on the hour mark when Hannah Aimee Saxon reduced the lead to 4-1.
