NIGERIA'S Super Falcons are on course to win the Women's World Cup this weekend after an emphatic 6-2 demolition of North Korea in the semi finals last night which sets them up for an exciting final against Germany on Sunday. Last night, the Falconettes, who have been nothing but breathtaking in the tournament so far, blew away the North Koreans with goals in the 2nd, 24th, 55th, 60th, 68th and 85th minutes. Asisat Oshoala, one of the stars of the tournament scored four times in the game, which turned out to be a very one-sided match. Yesterday's game played at the Moncton Stadium in eastern Canada, was the highest-scoring semi-final ever seen at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. Oshoala also laid on two more goals that sets up a mouth-watering game against Germany on Sunday at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium after the Germans defeated France 2-1 in the other semi final. Nigeria's Falconettes have had a tendency to score quick goals during the tournament this time around it was no different as Courtney Dike opened the scoring after two minutes. Oshoala set the tone by setting it up, releasing Dike in behind Korea's captain Choe Sol-Gyong before she then expertly picked her spot just inside the far post. At the half-way point of the first period, Oshoala doubled Nigeria’s lead, capitalising on a poor touch from centre-half Song Kyong-Hui before rounding the keeper and passing into an open net. Less than ten minutes later, Ri Un-Sim, arguably the North Koreans’ most dangerous attacker throughout the tournament, pulled one back with a great bit of individual skill after receiving a long ball from midfield. Ri beat two defenders after receiving a cutback and finished past Sandra Chiichii with a powerful shot into the top corner. From there, Korea looked inspired and went in search of an equaliser but the score remained 2-1 at half-time before Nigeria swiftly put the game out of reach within minutes of the restart. In similar fashion to her performance in the quarter-finals against New Zealand, Uchechi Sunday came on as a substitute and within a minute scored to restore her team’s two-goal lead. Oshoala then put the game out of reach on the hour mark when she hit a stunning shot from 20 yards out that left Kim with no chance as it flew into the top corner. Korea had one last glimmer of hope two minutes later when Ugo Njoku handled the ball in her own area, allowing Jon So-Yon to score from the penalty spot. However, Oshoala’s quality shone through yet again in the 68th minute when she completed her hat-trick, beating Song and winning a foot race with Kim to once more fire into an empty net. Nigeria were not finished there, however, and with five minutes from time, Oshoala matched the number four on her jersey. her fourth goal came as a result of another North Korean defensive miscue less than six yards from goal, resulting in a simple tap-in.
