Nigeria’s U-17 women’s team, the Flamingoes are through to the next round of qualifiers for the 2018 FIFA U17 Women’s World after eliminating their Ethiopian counterparts on away goals.
Nigeria secured a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Addis Ababa, and were able to consolidate that gain at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Saturday.
A goalless draw means the Nigerian girls qualified on the away goal rule despite the 1-1 aggregate score line.
The goalless draw eliminated Ethiopia from the qualification series for France 2018, while Nigeria moved ahead to face the winner of the Cameroon/Algeria fixture in the second and final round of the series.
