U17 Women's World Cup qualifier: 'It's not over for us yet' - Guinea's Balde eyes Nigeria scalp

Guinea team manager Mamadou Balde is confident his team can still advance at the expense of Nigeria when they meet in Saturday's U17 Women's World Cup qualifier in Lagos.

The Guineans are in Nigeria for the reserve fixture a week after a 6-1 first leg, first-round defeat in Conakry, with Fatoumata Diallo's late strike the only consolation at the September 28 Stadium.

A hat-trick from Yemisi Samuel along with a brace from Rofiat Imuran and Chinyere Kalu's opener condemned Dauda Conte's team to a heavy defeat at home.
