Morocco 2025: Flamingos defeat Bantwana 3-1

Posted : 09 March 2025

Nigeria’s U-17 girls, the Flamingos, on Saturday defeated their hosts, South Africa’s Bantwana, 3-1 to put one firm foot in the final round of the qualification series for this year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup finals.


Shakirat Moshood, who was a four-goal scorer at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in the Dominican Republic last year, finished with aplomb in the 20th minute to put the 2022 FIFA World Cup bronze medallists ahead at the Lucas ‘Masterpieces’ Moripe in Pretoria. Harmony Chidi, who scored 13 goals in the qualifying series for last year’s finals, made no mistake from six yards when Nigeria was awarded a penalty.


Bantwana kept the Flamingos in their sights when they also converted a penalty two minutes after the break, courtesy of Malebana. However, the prolific Harmony Chidi took Nigeria out of South Africa’s sights with a third goal in the 68th minute.


Both teams will clash again in the return leg at the Remo Stars’ Stadium in Ikenne-Remo on Saturday next week. The winner will advance to the final round of the series, where all four winners will qualify to join hosts Morocco as Africa’s flag-bearers at this year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, from October 17th to November 5th.
