The Falconets defeated Venezuela 4-0 in their last group game in the Fifa U20 Women's World Cup.

Allnigeriasoccer.com runs the rule over the Nigerian players in action.

The starters

Goalkeeper 

Faith Omilana: On her debut in the tournament, the young shot-stopper didn't put a foot wrong, making some vital saves in the second half. 8/10

Defenders

Rofiat Imuran: She played in her natural position for the first time and she was rock solid. 8/10

Comfort Folorunsho: She didn't have much to do, was sloppy for a moment in the second half but luckily, she could made amends. 6.5/10

Shukurat Oladipo: She didn't have much to do as against the Germans. Besides a moment of sloppiness in the second half, she was good. 6.5/10

Jumoke Alani: She played as right back for the first time in the tournament and was the skipper and excelled in both roles. She made a good case to keep her as the first choice right-back. 8/10

Midfielders and forwards

Chioma Olise: She also had her best game in the tournament and could have also gotten on the scoresheet. 6.5/10

Adoo Yina: The young midfielder was impressive yet again with her work rate and ability to get involved in helping to move the ball to the attacking third. 7/10

Amina Bello: This was her best game by distance as she contributed to the attack immensely and unsurprisingly got on the scoresheet. 7/10

Olushola Shobowale: It was a quiet outing for the forward who was handed her first start. 5.5/10

Chiamaka Okwuchukwu: She was magnificent once again, running the channels and causing the Venezuelan defence all sorts of troubles and deservedly got on the scoresheet while setting up two goals. 9.5/10

Flourish Sabastine: She took her goal well and was as threatening as ever. 8/10

The substitutes

Janet Akekoromowei: She was more active than she was against Germany. 5.5/10

Mary Osigwe: Nearly grabbed an assist immediately she came on but offered nothing much afterwards  5.5/10

Mary Nkpa: She barely made an impact. 5/10

Esther Ajakaye: Provided the assist for the Falconets fourth goals and tried to create some chances after coming off the bench. 6.5/10

Joel Igbokwe: The substitute scored a brilliant goal to compile more miseries on Venezuela. 7/10
