Nigeria’s U-17 women’s team endured a challenging start to their FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup campaign with a 4-1 defeat to Canada on Sunday. After Queen Joseph leveled the score in the first half, the Canadian side responded with a dominant second-half display, netting three goals within a span of thirteen minutes. The win puts Canada at the top of Group D, while Nigeria faces a must-win situation in their upcoming matches against France and Samoa later this week.
