Meanwhile, Janet Akekoromowei added a hat-trick to her tally, providing further firepower and extending Nigeria’s lead throughout the match. The Flamingos' offensive juggernaut didn’t stop there—Aisha Animashaun and Peace Effiong each contributed a goal to cap off the 9-0 rout.
This stunning result puts Nigeria firmly at the top of Group B, with a goal difference that sets them apart from their closest competitors in the group, including Ivory Coast. The Flamingos now have three points and will be looking to build on this dominant performance in their next group-stage match.

With such an impressive start, the Nigeria Flamingos have firmly placed themselves as one of the favorites in the tournament, showing both strength in attack and composure in defense. All eyes will now be on their next outing as they look to maintain their momentum in the quest for the 2024 WAFU B U17 Girls Cup title.
