Flamingos head coach Bankole Olowookere says the team is now fully focused on their next game against Chile at the 2022 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Olowookere’s girls got their campaign back on track with a comprehensive 4-0 win against New Zealand on Friday afternoon.
The West Africans started their campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Germany.
They now occupy second position in the group and need only a draw against the Chileans to scale through to the knockout round.
“We will approach the game against Chile the same way we did against Germany and New Zealand,” coach Olowookere said.
“This match is a step to the next stage or a step out of the competition and so we have to be a lot more careful.
“We will be cautious but be more focused and determined.”
Nigeria have reached the U17 World Cup quarterfinal thrice.
