Christopher Danjuma’s ladies failed in their bid to reach the last four after bowing to the European side on ThursdayNigeria U20 Women lost 2-1 to Spain to crash out of the 2018 Fifa U20 Women’s World Cup.
First-half goals from Aitana Bonmati and Patri Guijarro sent the Falconets crashing despite Peace Efih’s effort.
Bonmati opened the scoring at the Stade Guy-Piriou after 13 minutes as her left-footed shot from the edge of the box getting past impressive Chiamaka Nnadozie.
The Christopher Danjuma managed team moved the ball quicker after the break and they were rewarded with a goal in the 56th minute through Peace Effih.
The Nigerians kept searching for an equaliser deep into injury time, but they were unable to beat the Spanish defence again as the gain for Spain became Nigeria’s pain.
