Nigeria’s Falconets produced a commanding performance to defeat the Black Princesses of Ghana 3–0 to secure the WAFU B U-20 Girls Championship title in Benin Republic.
The result capped a flawless campaign for Moses Aduku’s side, who maintained their perfect record throughout the tournament.
The match, played at the Stade Omnisport d’Adjohoun, showcased the Falconets’ dominance and attacking flair.
Having already beaten Ghana 3–1 in the group stage, the Nigerians once again proved their superiority with a clinical display that left their West African rivals chasing shadows.
The Falconets were two goals up before the 25th minute.
Blessing Akekoromowei opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a composed finish, before Alaba Olabiyi doubled the advantage just seven minutes later after a swift attacking move that split Ghana’s defence apart.
