Head Coach Moses Aduku has assured that Nigeria’s U20 women national team, Falconets, will fire from all cylinders when they take to the pitch of the Stadion Miejski LKS Łòdź on Sunday against their counterparts from New Caledonia.
The debutants sit at the bottom of Group F, having lost 0-5 to China in their first match and 0-11 to Spain in their second match, with no point garnered and a goals difference of minus 16.
“The results in their last two matches notwithstanding, we will not under-rate our opponents. I am happy because the girls are in good spirits and ready to go, and there are no injuries in our camp as I speak.
“We all know the implication of our not scoring goals on Sunday, so we will go in there and focus on scoring goals to stand a chance of reaching the next round. We cannot afford to go back home now.”
Nigeria, on one point derived from the scoreless draw with China on Thursday, must win well to erase their two-goal deficit and have a healthy goals’ balance to make it to the Round of 16, no matter the result of the other Group F encounter between Spain and China.
