Her ferocious strike from outside the box left the Asian side’s goalkeeper helpless. Onyenezide scored two very good penalties, in the 24th and 32nd minutes of the first half, sending the goalkeeper to the wrong direction of both occasions, as the Falconets overturned a one goal deficit that came due to goalkeeping error.

PROFILE: Nigeria's U20 women's team seek World Cup glory in ... (Premium Times)

The Falconets, who have finished second twice (in 2010 and 2014) and reached the semi-finals in 2012, are hoping to finally conquer the world in Costa Rica.

Olise has a lot of potential after a good run in the qualifiers and also helping her club Edo Queens to the Super Six, so she should be useful for the Falconets in Costa Rica. Idoko, who has been described as tireless, has already showed her abilities by assisting in the opening victory over France. Amazons of Nasarawa When it comes to having the necessary experience, Amoo has an advantage over her colleagues because this is her second appearance in the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The thunderous shot was one of the best seen in Costa Rica so far, and it also earned the FC Robo midfielder the Woman-of-the-Match Award. The Rivers Angels defender travelled to Abidjan with Randy Waldrum’s squad for the pivotal game against Ivory Coast in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifier in February. Despite being relegated to the bench for the game against Korea Republic after starting the group opener against France, she remains a competent player with strong tackling abilities. She is one of Costa Rica’s four Nasarawa Amazons players. Oshobukola has played every minute of her first two games in Costa Rica, and she is already one of the team’s top performers. Demehin, who has already been compared to veteran Onome Ebi, is leading the Falconets from the back. While she played in the qualifying series, Ogbuchi has yet to play in Costa Rica, having been benched in the first two games against France and Korea Republic. Although the U-17 Women’s World Cup did not take place as planned, Ekeh now has a chance to shine with the U-20 team in Costa Rica. She is the team’s first-choice goalkeeper and has performed admirably with clean sheets in the first two games against France and South Korea.
