Nigeria’s women
U-17 team, Flamingoes crashed out of the FIFA U17 World Cup following a disastrous
3-0 loss to North Korea on Saturday in a final Group C match. Ri Hae Yon
scored a hat-trick as Korea DPR finished top of Group C at the FIFA U-17
Women's World Cup Jordan 2016 and progress to the quarter-final stage unbeaten.
Hot-shot Ri
bagged a first-half double before notching her third on 83 minutes, bringing
her tally to four goals in two games, as Korea DPR capped off a commanding
victory at the Amman International Stadium.
Nigeria
started brightly with Rasheedat Ajibade, a menace throughout the opening 45
minutes with her blistering pace, forcing Ok Kum Ju to make a number of early
stops.
Despite
early pressure from Nigeria, it was Korea DPR who took the lead on the half-hour
mark. Ko Kyong Hui made a tackle on the halfway line and sent a long pass over
the Nigeria defence, where Ri got onto the end of the bouncing ball and fired
past goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie.
Korea DPR
then doubled their advantage shortly before the break through Ri’s second of
the day, who capped off a well-worked team move by slotting home from close
range.
Ri then
completed her hat-trick on 83 minutes after receiving Kim Jong Sim's free-kick
in the area and slotting a side-footed effort past Nnadozie.
