Nigeria beat Venezuela, Brazil ease past China at Women's U17 World Cup

Welcome to Morocco, where the U-17 Women's World Cup Final Four is within reach. Nigeria has found its stride at just the right time, while Venezuela continues to defy expectations. A semi-final spot on the line up next. Opportunity here, just punched out. Oh my goodness, what an opportunity. Here comes a counterattack, moving towards goal, just missing on the far post. It was Mejia for its goal, punched by Ravenallis. Nigeria knocks on the door this time. Orvis in, gets all the way to the back post. Nigeria in the box. Just off the side netting, just missing on the near post. With a look on goal, had it down by the keeper. With pressure on, she's able to get back to it. Ejuru with a dangerous both matches head to penalty kicks. Wouldn't that be something? Nigeria in the box, brought down, dragged down. And a penalty kick on the way for Nigeria. Ninth minute, Flamingos are flying to the Final Four. They are headed to the semi-finals of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. Brazil are chasing the first under-17 world title, while China reached the quarterfinals for the first time. Two unbeaten teams, one place in the final four. Score 12 goals in the group stage last year as well. There's a right footed shot, and oh my, almost indescribable error from Mio. A wry smile, and that's why you take these shots. You test the goalkeeper early. Low in the box, with the left foot, and it's good! On that far side, indeed it's not, it's Wee. Watch this move right there. Into the box and the power on this left foot. Zil turns forward, long tournament, 20 fresh out of half time. Gets the ice up. What can I say? And another brilliant lead. Foot to shot for Alina. Zil leads 2-1 again. Finals and back-to-back years. Congratulations.
