Flamingos Beat Puerto Rico To Keep U-17 World Cup Hopes Alive

Nigeria’s Flamingos revived their campaign at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco with a 2–0 victory over Puerto Rico in their Group B encounter in Rabat on Tuesday.
Oluwakemi Adegbuyi and substitute Precious Oscar scored in either half to give the 2022 bronze medallists a crucial victory ahead of Friday’s decisive clash against defending champions DPR Korea.
The Nigerian girls started brightly, pressing high and putting the Puerto Rican defence under pressure with their pace and direct attacking play.
Their early dominance paid off in the 25th minute when Adegbuyi finished off an assist from Queen Joseph to put Nigeria ahead.
