Women's World Cup quarter-finals with a 4-0 victoryover Italy to top
Group B.
Italy required victory by at least two goals to progress following
their early draw against Brazil and defeat against Korea Republic.
Nigeria, on the other hand, went into the match holding a one-point
advantage at the top of Group B and knowing victory would assure
progression as group winners.
Two goals in each half saw Nigeria to a comfortable victory in Kobe
with Italy's fate rarely in doubt once Ordega opened the scoring
midway through the first half.
Ordega doubled the advantage just prior to the interval,
beforecompleting her treble just two minutes into the second stanza.
The second goal was perhaps the most notable, with Ordega finishing a
neat counter-attack after Esther Sunday played the final pass.
Substitute Osarenoma Igbinovia iced the cake with a fourth a few
minutes from full time as Nigeria booked a quarter-final berth.
