Again!!, Nigeria’s Falconets lost to Germany in the U-20 Women's World cup final which took place on Sunday 24th August 2014 in Montreal, Canada.
90 minutes wasn't enough to decide a winner of the match which had to be taken to extra time. Lena Petermann was the heroine for the German side as she scored in the 8th minute of extra time to seal the game, making it the third time Germany will be winning this competition.
Although the girls lost the game, Falconet forward Asisat Oshoala was voted the Most Valuable player at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Womens World Cup and also claimed the Golden Boot award after scoring seven goals; the highest at the end of the tournament.
