This victory marks the Falconets’ second win in three Group D matches, bringing their total to six points, matching Germany’s tally. Despite the identical points, Nigeria was placed second in the group due to a lower head-to-head record and goal difference.
The Falconets will face the top team from Group E—either Japan or Austria—in the knockout stage, with the match scheduled for September 13.
