In the 55 minute Uchechi Sunday, restored the Falconet's two goals lead, and five minutes later in the 60th minute, Asisat scored her second goal of the day. Eight minutes later she made sure that their Asian opponents, will not be able to come back into the match, by scoring her third goal of the of the encounter in the 68th minute.
But before Asisat scored on the 68th minute, the Koreans were awarded a penalty, when Ugo Njoku handled the ball in the Nigerian box. Then J. So Yon stepped forward, in the 62nd minute and tucked it away, on the right hand side of the goalkeeper.
The match continued, with the Nigerian girls maintaining their dorminance of the game. Then five minutes to stoppage time, in the 85th minute, the very talented and pacey Asisat made sure, that the match will be one to be remembered for a long to come, by scoring her 4th goal.
In the history of the Fifa Women Under - 20 World Cup, no team has been crushed in the semi-final with such a huge number of goals, except in this very tournament.
Germany defeated France 2 - 1 in the other semi-final, and will be meeting Nigeria in the final on Sunday the 24th, in a match that will be interesting to watch, as Nigeria will be looking to revenge losing the final to Germany in 2010, while Germany will be hoping to show that their 2010 winning was not by chance.
