Germany defeated the Falconets of Nigeria at the ongoing 2018 FIFA Women U-20 World cup in France.
The Falconets were able to contain the Germans in the first half as it ended goalless, but a momentary loss of concentration in the second half gave Germany the maximum points.
A second-half goal from Stefanie Sanders of Germany gave the Die Nationalelf a 1-0 victory over Nigeria in a Group D encounter at the Stade de Marville in Saint-Malo.
The Falconets gave all they had in their kitty but the Germans held on to record an important win.
Falconets goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie gave a good account of herself by denying the Germans with a series of top-drawer saves to keep the scoreline respectable.
The Falconets are in Group D alongside Germany, Haiti and China, China and Haiti will battle it out in the second match of the group today.
Nigeria’s next match is against Haiti on Thursday
