Venezuela Coach Reflects After Flamingos’ Late Win Sends Nigeria Into U-17 World Cup Semi-Finals
Venezuela coach Dayana Frías says a single mistake proved costly after her side lost 1-0 to Nigeria’s Flamingos in the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. The match looked set for penalties until Nigeria won a late penalty after Migleydys Bolsegui was ruled to have fouled Oluebube Umejiaku. Azeezat Oduntan converted to secure the Flamingos’ place in the semi-finals. Frías praised her team’s progress at the tournament despite their exit. She added that seven players remain eligible to return next year and continue their development.
