Falconets Coach Says England Underestimated Nigeria in 3-0 U-20 World Cup Win

Nigeria’s Falconets beat England 3-0 at the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland, with goals from Tosin Rafiu, Janet Akekoromowei and Mercy Mamudu. Coach Moses Aduku said England underestimated his team and did not expect the Falconets to perform at that level. He praised the English side but said Nigeria showed its quality when it mattered. Aduku has urged his players to celebrate briefly and turn their attention to the quarter-final. Nigeria will face either Poland or Colombia in Lodz on Sunday, with a semi-final place at stake.
