Flamingos head coach, Bankole Olowookere is looking forward to his team’s clash against Ecuador.
Olowookere’s side will be up against the debutantes in their second game at the ongoing 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup on Saturday.
The Flamingos defeated New Zealand 4-1 in their first game on Wednesday to move top of Group A with three points.
Shakirat Moshood, Taiwo Adegoke, Faridat Abdulwahab and captain Taiwo Afolabi were all on target for Nigeria in the game.
Olowookere is confident his girls will have another great day in the office when they confront Ecuador.
“Our tournament strategy is to focus on the next match, take it one match at a time. We need not look farther than the next match, and now, we have Ecuador in our sights. The Ecuadorians have shown, with their defeat of the host nation, that they may be debutants but not a team to be taken for granted.
“The players have recovered well from their opening match victory over New Zealand and we are ready for Ecuador. We know that three points in that game will all but get us into the knock-out stage. It is an opportunity we will not allow to slip out of our hands.”
