Nigeria thrashed New Zealand 4 - 1 on Sunday night to qualify for the semifinals of the ongoing World Cup for female players less than 20 years.<br /><br />An early brace by Asisat Oshoala and two late goals from Uchechi Sunday have now set up a meeting with Korea DPR on Wednesday at the Moncton Stadium. <br /><br />In his post match comments, coach Peter Dedevbo said : &ldquo;I took this team when they were U17s in 2010, and at the U-17 World Cups in 2010 and 2012, we lost in the quarter-finals. &rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Now that jinx is broken. We&rsquo;ve made it to the semi-finals. I was not scared before the game because I know that, with the quality we have, this team would qualify. &rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Scoring early changes the character of the team, it&rsquo;s very good for the confidence, and then you play better and in a more relaxed way. I&rsquo;m very satisfied with what we achieved, and now I&rsquo;m ready for North Korea. &rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I know their team, I know their coach, and I want to beat them at all costs. &rdquo;<br /><br />North Korea qualified for the last four after defeating United States 3 - 1 on penalties.<br />
