Nigeria’s Falconets emerged 4-0 winners of their first leg
FIFA 2014 Women’s U-20 World Cup second round qualifier against Tunisia
on Saturday in Abuja.
Captain Okaeme Helen opened scoring for Nigeria and Uchechi Sunday followed suit with a hat-trick.
The first half ended scoreless as the North Africans decided to pack
their bus inside the main-bowl of the Abuja National Stadium.
The Falconets teared their defence apart seven minutes after the
break before Rivers Angels striker Sunday completed her hat-trick four
minutes to the dead.
The victory gives the Nigerian ladies a foothold heading into the reverse fixture in a fortnight in Tunis, Tunisia.
The team with the best aggregate score in the two-legged tie will edge closer towards grabbing the ticket for the Fifa Under-20 World Cup holding in Canada in 2014.
The Falconets reached the semi-finals of the previous tournament held in the Japan.
