2024 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup African qualifiers: Falconet forced to stalemate by Tanzanian U-20 girls
Posted : 13 November 2023
Nigeria's U20 girls were forced to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their 2024 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup African qualifying series second-round fixture in Dar es Salaam on Sunday.
The match, which was scoreless in the first half, saw substitute Chioma Olise put Nigeria in front three minutes before the hour mark at the Azam Sports Complex in Tanzania’s commercial and industrial capital.
The home team responded 13 minutes later when Asnath Ubamba fired home from a free kick, to which Nigeria’s goalkeeper Anderlin Mgebchi had no answer.
Both teams fought hard to establish superiority towards the end of the encounter on the artificial turf, but the scoreline remained the same.
The Falconets will return to Nigeria on Tuesday with high expectations of overpowering the Tanzanians when both teams clash in the second leg on Sunday, November 19th.
