Nigeria will play Colombia in the quarter-finals of the U-20 Women's World Championship, with a semi-final place at stake. The fixture follows Nigeria's 3-0 win over England, a result reported by Channels Television that sent the Falconets into the last eight.
According to Punch Newspapers, Nigeria coach Aduku has already turned his attention to the Colombia match. THISDAYLIVE frames the tie as a direct contest for a semi-final ticket.
Sofascore has published a preview of the quarter-final round covering team form, head-to-head records and the main storylines around the remaining fixtures. The outlet's summary of the round does not include further match details.
Aduku has also spoken about the longer-term prospects of the players who have featured for Nigeria at the tournament. Daily Post Nigeria reports that he predicted a future with the senior Super Falcons for those standouts.
The quarter-final meeting with Colombia is the immediate test for Nigeria, whose attacking display against England was the standout result of their run so far. Colombia now stand between the Falconets and a place in the last four.
Attention next turns to whether Nigeria can carry that form into the Colombia match and secure a semi-final spot.
