Nigeria’s Flamingos lost 2-1 to Germany in their first game in Group B, at this year’s FIFA U-17 women’s World Cup holding in India on Tuesday.

The Flamingos went into the break ahead thanks to Miracle Usani’s 30th minute goal. Meanwhile, Germany restorted parity in the 50th minute through Svea Stold before going ahead through Mara Alber goal in the 61st minute.
