Nigeria’s Falconets battled to a goalless draw against China in their second Group F match at the ongoing 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
Moses Aduku’s side produced a determined and disciplined performance to put their opening-day 2-0 defeat to Spain behind them and keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stage alive.
China, buoyed by their emphatic 5-0 victory over tournament debutants New Caledonia on Monday, started brightly and applied early pressure on the Falconets’ defence.
Nigeria gradually settled into the contest, however, and began creating opportunities of their own as the game progressed.
