Nigeria have taken control of Group C at the FIFA U-20
Women's World Cup Canada 2014 by defeating Korea
Republic 2-1 in Moncton. Courtney Dike scored the fastest
goal in the history of FIFA women's tournaments after she
took advantage of Korea Republic's lacklustre defending.
Dike, who was starting her first match of the tournament
after coming on as substitute in the opener against Mexico,
set the tone for the Super Falconets, who were eager to
jump to the top of Group C after England and Mexico had
shared the spoils earlier in the day in a 1-1 draw.
Nigeria continued to threaten Korea Republic's goal when
Osarenoma Igbinovia had a shot from distance tipped over
the bar by Min Yukyeong. Nigeria had another opportunity in
17th minute when Asisat Oshoala's cross found Loveth
Ayila, who was unmarked in the penalty area. However, her
shot hit a defender and spun just wide.
Korea Republic had their first chance of the first half in the
24th minute when Kim Soyi's attempted chip over Nigeria
goalkeeper Sandra Chiichii went over the bar. Soyi and her
team would regret that missed opportunity as Nigeria took a
two-goal lead ten minutes later through Chinwendu Ihezuo.
Ugo Njoku's cross from the right wing found Ihezuo, who
controlled the ball before firing a powerful shot past
Minyeong.
Nigeria picked up from where they started by controlling the
opening stages of the second half, although Korea Republic
were able to ask questions of the Super Falconets' defense
as the half progressed.
The best chance for the South Koreans came in the 59th
minute when Kim Inji received the ball and shot from the left
side of the penalty area only to watch her effort go inches
wide of the near post. Inji would have see another effort
suffer the same fate ten minutes later as the Nigerians
continued to breathe a collective sigh of relief.
A nervy conclusion was guaranteed in the 71st minute when
Nigeria failed to clear their lines effectively and Soyi
capitalised by scoring from the edge of the penalty area to
give the Koreans a lifeline. But while the Asian
champions often threatened an equaliser, Nigeria's defense
held on to claim the first win of the group in Moncton.

Nigeria U20 women national team
defeated Korea Republic 2-1 in
their second group game of the
ongoing Fifa U20 Women’s World
Cup in Canada.
Goals from Courtney Dike and
Chiwendu Ihezuo were all the Falconets needed to get past the
Asians that attempted a comeback though Kim Soyi in the
second half.
Dike took advantage of a lack luster defending from Jong
Songchon’s ladies to get the curtain raiser of the game after
12 seconds, the fastest goal in the history of FIFA women's
tournaments.
Nigeria failed to double their advantage in the 14th minute as
goalkeeper Min Yukyeong tipped Osarenoma Igbinnovia’s
rocket over the bar. Few minutes later, Asisat Oshoala's cross
found Loveth Ayila, who was unmarked in the penalty area.
However, her shot hit a defender and spun just wide.
The Asians had their first chance of the first half in the 24th
minute when Kim Soyi's attempted chip over Nigeria
goalkeeper Sandra Chiichii went over the bar.
Ihezuo gave Nigeria a two-goal lead ten minutes later through
Chinwendu Ihezuo. Ugo Njoku's cross from the right wing
found Ihezuo, who controlled the ball before firing a powerful
shot past Minyeong.
On resumption of the second half, the Falconets pressed for
more goals but all to no avail. With less that 20 minutes to the
end of the game Soyi pulled a goal back for the Koreans as
she scored from the edge of the box following a moment of
distraction in the Nigerian defence.
With this result, Nigeria now lead Group C with four points
from two games and will now face England in their last game
on Wednesday at the Commonwealth Stadium in Moncton ,
needing at least a draw to emerge as group winners.

That's a good one.

This is the fun Fifa wantd to use their politricks to stop us from going. That cup is ours.
