A late goal by Flourish Sabastine earned Nigeria’s Falconets victory against the Korea Republic at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia early hours of Monday.

In a game where goal-scoring opportunities were far reaching, it was the Nigerian girls that made the most of theirs deep into stoppage time at the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo, Bogota.

Forward, Mary Lucky Mkpa could have ended the morning with a brace had she had enough precision.

Despite the early promise by the Falconets, it was the Asians that came close to drawing the first blood on the quarter-hour, but Shukurat Oladipo got one foot to a teasing cross from the right.
