     The U-20 Women National Team on Thursday morning secured their pound of flesh against a U-15 boys side from the WACO Academy with a 5-1 victory in a friendly played at the artificial turf of the FIFA Goal Project Centre, Abuja.

The girls had lost to the same side 7-1 last Saturday at the training pitch which is close to the mainbowl of the National Stadium, Abuja.

But Thursday, the girls handled by Coach Edwin Okon took the battle to their opponents from the blast of the whistle to the delight of the spectators who kept cheering them headlong.

Goals from Esther Sunday, Lola Phillips and Azeezat Osuola ended scores at 3-0 in the first half while Mercy Nku and Chisom Henry got the fourth and fifth goals respectively in the second half to compound their opponents’ woes. The boys got their consolation in the second half.

“I am happy with the girls for braving the odds today (Thursday). It shows that they are responding to instructions after Saturday's defeat," said Okon.

Chief Technical Officer of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Siji Olagunju, who watched the friendly, praised the girls for the fighting spirit even though he acknowledged that more work still needed to be done.

Nigeria takes on Zimbabwe in a FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier on March 31 at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta. The return leg is scheduled for two weeks in Harare.

"We will continue to correct the lapses in the team before we meet the Zimbabweans," said Olagunju.

At the end of the match, spectators were privileged to pose for photographs with some of the girls that warmed their hearts.
