Falconets Suffers 3-1 Defeats to Germany in World Cup Match

Nigeria’s under-20 women’s football team, the Falconets, lost 1-3 to Germany in their second Group D match at the 2024 FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia. The match was played at the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo in Bogota, Colombia.

Germany took the lead in the 17th minute, capitalizing on a defensive error by the Nigerian side. Despite struggling in the first half, the Falconets leveled the score in the 50th minute through Chiamaka Okwuchukwu. However, Germany responded swiftly, scoring two more goals to seal the win.

The result puts Germany at the top of the group with six points, while Nigeria sits in second place with three points. The Falconets now face a challenging path to qualification for the Round of 16 and will need a strong performance in their final group match against Venezuela to secure a spot in the knockout stages.

The match saw the Falconets struggle to keep up with the pace of the German side, with Germany’s Sofie Zdebel and Sarah Ernst scoring crucial goals. A goal by the Falconets was also disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

The Falconets will face Venezuela in their last group game on Saturday, while Germany will face Korea Republic.
