Nigeria's Falconets have secured qualification for the FIFA Women's under 20 World Cup beating South Africa 0-1 to go through 7-0 on aggregate.

Adeboye Yetunde's strike was the defining factor in the game,slipping in a goal as early as the sixth minute to set coach Peter Dedevbo's team in motion for qualification.

The second leg was more like a formality after the Falconets put six past the Basetasana in the first leg in Abuja,and it proved so with the Nigerian girls sealing victory in South Africa.

Nigeria will be joined by the winner of the tie between Ghana and Equatorial Guinea as the two African representatives at the World Cup tournament in Canada.

The Falconets have in the last two editions of the FIFA Under 20 Women's World Cup made the semifinal of the tournament,losing out in the finals of the 2010 edition to Germany.
