Former Nigerian goalkeeper, Peter Rufai has advised the Super Falconets to be clinical in front of goal when the team meet Netherlands in the quarter finals of the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
Recall that Nigeria maintained a 100% winning record in the Group stages after the team defeated France 1-0, South Korea 1-0 and Canada 3-1 to top the group.
With the team set to face Netherlands in the knockout stages, Rufai, who was a member of the Super Eagles that won the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations, told Completesports.com that the Super Falconets will overcome their Dutch opponent.

“I have no doubt that the game against Netherlands will be a very difficult one for the Super Falconets, However, I am optimistic that Nigeria will carry the day.
“The technical crew must ensure they do everything to make the team take their goal scoring chances against Netherlands because we have a team good enough to win the game and qualify for the semi finals.”

The team lack ideas in the final third otherwise a very good side.
To win a tournament you must have the right balance.
Danjuma has a lot of work to do to learn this girls what to do when they are in the box because that’s where they’re found wanting.The midfield defence is spot on,the goalkeeper has to improve too it looks like the bench has not got anyone to challenge or put pressure on the first choice,I hope she get her act together because any mistake at this stage could ruin her team.
However,I wish the falconets good-luck,Netherland isn’t a weak opponent in fact a very good one,so we are in for a tough night,we can only hope for victory.
