After missing out on a place in the final of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, the Flamingos sought a consolation bronze medal when they played Germany U-17 women's team on Sunday October, 30th 2022.

Now faced with the prospect of returning home empty-handed after months of preparations and hardwork, both the Flamingos and their German opponents were expected to give a good fight
for the bronze.

The match ended 3-3 in regulation time, leading to a penalty shootout. The penalty then ended 3-2 in Nigeria’s favor as the team took revenge for their loss against the Europeans in their opening fixture.

Nigeria began the match in good stead and were rewarded when forward Opeyemi Ajakaye broke her goal drought with her brilliant 20th-minute opener for the Flamingos.
