FIFA U-20 WWC: Nigeria’s falconets overpower France in Costa Rica

In their opening match of the ongoing FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica on Friday at Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica, San Jose, Nigeria’s National Women’s Football Team (Falconets) defeated France 1-0.

The women from Nigeria, who are in group C, kicked off their first match against their French opponents, but after only 32 minutes of the first half, the match was called off due to heavy rain.

To protect both teams from the bad weather, the centre referee stopped the game.

When play resumed, both teams picked up where they left off, with the Falconets dominating the contest.
