In the U20 women’s world cup, the Netherlands faced off against the Nigerian Super Falconet. Nigeria advanced to the quarterfinals against a tough European team after a stellar showing in the group round, where they suffered their first loss of the campaign.
Hulswit and Henry’s goals in the 11th and 33rd minutes were sufficient to eliminate the Super Falconet from the competition. The Nigerian defense wasn’t up to par; they committed a couple mistakes that resulted in the goals.
The Super Falconet miraculously matched the performance of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, who were in Cameroon earlier this year, after their 2-0 setback. Both teams finished with nine points, were group leaders, and only allowed one goal to each other.

After a strong showing in the group round, the Falconet were considered favorites to win the U20 women’s world cup championship, much like the Super Eagles, however they were unable to advance past the quarterfinals. Remember how the Super Eagles team from Austin, Texas, lost to Tunisia in the quarterfinals despite winning all three of their group matches.
The fact that two talented Nigerian teams suffered such a fate in the same year is quite terrible. Above all, the Nigerian people are proud of the Super Falconet for their outstanding achievement in Costa Rica.
