Nigeria 5-1 Guinea [11-2]: Flamingos sail through to the second round in style

Nigeria have knocked out Guinea from the 2020 U17 Women's World Cup qualifiers after a 5-1 second leg triumph at home on Saturday.

The Flamingoes thrashed the Guineans 6-1 in the first leg in Conakry thanks to a hat-trick from Yemisi Samuel and a brace from Rofiat Imuran and Chinyere Kalu's effort at September 28 last week.

Bankole Olowookere's team did not leave anything to chance as they gained an early lead through Rofiat Imuran off Chinyere Kalu's assist in the 27th minute of the encounter at Agege Stadium.

Taiwo Lawal doubled the lead for the hosts in the 33rd minute off Oluwabunmi Oladeji's brilliant pass before she bagged her second of the match and her team's third five minutes from half time.
