OSHOALA FIRES NIGERIA TO U20 WORLD CUP FINAL







Oshoala struck four times against North Korea Wednesday for Nigeria to reach the final of the 2014 FIFA U20 World Cup in Canada.

The outstanding Oshoala hit target in the 24th, 60th, 68th and 85th minutes to crown an awesome day in the office as the Falconets trounced North Korea 6-2.

This weekend in Montreal they will now meet the winners of the other semi-final between Germany and France.

The Falconets aimed for an early goal to unsettle their opponents and they only had to wait for two minutes before Courtney Dike struck.

Oshoala doubled Nigeria lead on 24 minutes, before Korea pulled a goal back R.Un Sim in the 31stminute.

However, towering striker Uchechi Sunday came off the bench to increase the Nigeria lead when she finished off a fine pullout from the right in the 55th minute.

After Oshoala got her second goal on the hour, Korea scored from the penalty spot after Njoku handled the ball inside her box.

But therafter it was the Oshoala show as she plundered two more goals including a spectacular long-range effort to take Nigeria to a second U20 World Cup final in four years.
