Nigeria’s U17 girls, the Flamingos, put on a spectacular performance on Thursday in their second match of the 2024 WAFU U17 Girls’ Cup, demolishing Niger Republic 9-0 in Ghana.

Shakirat Moshood was the star of the show, scoring four goals as the Flamingos ran riot.

The match began with a bang as Aishat Animashaun opened the scoring just five minutes in, following a pinpoint cross from Mary Mamudu.

The Flamingos’ attacking onslaught continued with Moshood’s stunning 35-yard strike in the 17th minute, leaving Nigerien goalkeeper Ndiaye Fatai Basiru with no chance.

Moshood added another six minutes later, assisted by Animashaun, before Janet Akekoromowei made it 4-0 in the 33rd minute with a close-range finish.

Akekoromowei struck again just before halftime to claim a first-half hat-trick, as the Flamingos led 7-0 at the break.

Moshood completed her own hat-trick in the dying moments of the first half, making it 7-0, and didn’t stop there.

Early in the second half, she completed her fourth goal of the match, a solo effort that made it 8-0.

Peace Effiong capped off the rout with a long-range shot in the 79th minute to seal a dominant 9-0 victory.

The Flamingos will now shift their focus to their upcoming match against Cote d’Ivoire on Monday.
