By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde

The Nigeria U-20 women’s national team continued their dominant run at the WAFU-B Women’s U-20 Cup with a convincing 3–0 victory over Ghana’s Black Princesses.

The win — their third in as many games — underscores Nigeria’s status as tournament favorites, as they remain unbeaten and yet to concede a goal.

Jenat Akekoromowei opened the scoring in the 17th minute, giving the Falconets an early advantage.

Seven minutes later, Alaba Olabiyi doubled the lead with a composed finish to put Nigeria firmly in control.

Kareem Ramotalahi sealed the victory in the 61st minute, slotting home the third goal to cap a commanding performance from Moses Aduku’s side.

With this result, the Falconets have now won all three of their group matches, maintaining a perfect record heading into their next clash against the Young Amazons of Benin, scheduled for tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.
