Tangle... Flourish Sebastine aiming for victory

Nigeria’s Falconnets face an ultimate test later tonight when they tackle Netherlands in the quarter-final of the FIFA U-20 Women World Cup in Alajuela, Costa Rica.
And striker Flourish Sebastine, knowing the implications of a bad result has urged the team to come clean or they would pack their bags and head home after posting a perfect record in the group stage beating favourites France and South Korea, before capping it up with a 3-1 over Canada.
“It’s a win or nothing,” said Sebastine.
The Falconnets face a Netherlands that came second in their group D pairings and according to coach Chris Danjuma they would not be pushovers.

“The Dutch are a super-strong squad to have survived that group where the Americans were sent packing. In any event, any team in the quarter-finals must be a super-strong squad.
“We will not under-rate them, just as we did not under-rate any of France, Korea Republic, and Canada.
Also three goals Esther Onyenezide added: “We are going to bring out our best. We will double our effort against the Netherlands. We doubled our efforts against France and Korea, but we are going to add more because this is a stage where we have to execute everything we have been learning.
“The next stage is the semifinal, and we aren’t in a hurry to leave the tournament.”
