U17 Women's World Cup qualifier: Samuel grabs hat-trick in Nigeria’s demolition of Guinea

Yemisi Samuel grabbed a hat-trick and Rofiat Imuran bagged a brace as Nigeria thumped Guinea 6-1 in Saturday’s first leg of their U17 Women's World Cup first leg qualifier in Conakry.

Samuel, who boasts of eight goals in four warm-up matches, delivered yet another impressive performance alongside Imuran and opening goalscorer Chinyere Kalu at the September 28 Stadium.

Having missed the 2018 World Cup in Uruguay, the Flamingos were eager to make a strong start to their qualifying bid for India 2020, and Kalu opened the scoring for the visitors after just three minutes.
