The Falconets of Nigeria continued its relentless pursuit of success at the WAFU B U20 Girls Cup with a scintillating 6-0 triumph against Togo in their second Group B encounter, at the iconic Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, Ghana.
Right from the opening whistle, Nigeria showcased their attacking prowess and wasted no time in asserting their dominance.

Not to be outdone, Flourish Sabastine joined the party with her own double, finding the back of the net in the 12th and 76th minute. Sabastine’s well-taken goals exemplified Nigeria’s attacking potency and further demoralised the Togolese side.
Esther Chinemerem added to Togo’s misery in the 19th minute with a beautifully crafted goal, showcasing Nigeria’s creativity and fluidity in their attacking play. Chinemerem’s strike left the Togolese goalkeeper rooted to the spot, helpless to prevent the Nigerian onslaught.
As the match progressed, Nigeria’s dominance continued unabated.
In the 59th minute, Esther Opeyemi Ajakaye got in on the act, ensuring that Nigeria’s victory was comprehensive and unassailable. Ajakaye’s goal further underscored the Nigerian team’s depth and versatility in the final third.
