By this victory, Nigeria has inched closer to an eighth appearance at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals on Saturday after a brace by Queen Joseph and one each by Zainab Raji and substitute Aishat Animashaun left Algeria’s U17 girls bedraggled in Ikenne-Remo.

Meanwhile, Gusau charged the girls to go to Algiers and play their hearts out to win the World Cup ticket for Nigeria.
