U-20 World Cup was dashed by the Spain. The European side defeated the Falconets 2-1 in the quarter-final at the Concarneau with goals from Aitana Bonmati and Patricia Guijarro. Peace Effih’s goal in the 57th minute halved the deficit but Christopher Danjuma’s charges couldn’t rally to grab an equaliser.
After the last gasp win against China saw the Falconets sneak into the knockout rounds, the team was up for it against a fluid and superior Spanish side. Perhaps, there was history to hang on to, Nigeria defeated Spain in the group stage in 2016 in Papua New Guinea.
However, it swiftly turned into a case of revenge in the 13th minute when Guijarro threaded an incisive pass to Aitana Bonmati. Bonmati took the ball in her stride to curl a beautiful left-footed curler from the edge of the box.
