•Nigeria finished third at the last edition of the competition
Nigeria have dispatched Ecuador in a Group A match at the FIFA U-17 World Cup to book their spot in the knockouts of the competition.
The Flamingos won the game 4-0. That victory sealed their spot in the next round of the competition having defeated New Zealand 1-4 in their first match of the tournament.
Nigeria scored once in the first half and had a hat-trick of goals upon resumption to win the game.
A brace from Shakirat Moshood – one in the 28th minute and the second in the 96th minute- saw Nigeria claim all three points in the match.
Harmony Chidi netted in the 54th minute while Peace Effiong scored in the 66 minute for the West Africans.
