Nigeria’s Flamingoes on Saturday crashed out of the ongoing fifth edition of the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup in Jordan, thus recording the country’s worst outing at the competition.
The match played at the Amman International Stadium saw the Flamingoes losing 0-3 to group leaders North Korea to fall apart and finish bottom of Group C.
After one draw (a 0-0 draw with England) and two losses (0-1 to Brazil and 0-3 to North Korea), Nigeria finished with just one point from the three matches.
Ri Hae Yon scored a hat-trick for the Asians to progress to the quarter-final stage unbeaten with seven points from two wins and one draw in three matches.
Hot-shot Ri bagged a first-half double before notching her third on 83 minutes, bringing her tally to four goals in two games, as Korea DPR capped off with a commanding victory.
