Guinness World Record broken as 53 red cards shown in Brazil under-20 match
Mass brawl at Uberlandia vs Mamore results in 43 cards for players, eight for coaching staff and two for board members.
Nigeria's Under-17 women's football team, the Flamingos, achieved a historic milestone on Wednesday by advancing to their first FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup final. The victory came after a 3-1 win over their Brazilian opponents in the semi-final match in Morocco. The match was scoreless until halftime when the Flamingos capitalized on their chances after the break, scoring three goals to seal the win.
Queen Joseph opened the scoring in the 56th minute, followed by Awawu Bashiru in the 71st minute, and Bashiru added another goal in the 87th minute, making it 3-0. Brazil reduced the gap in the 89th minute with a goal by Greise Kelly, but Nigeria held on for a memorable victory. The triumph marks a significant recovery for the team, as they had begun their campaign with a 2-1 loss to Poland.
Their strong performances led to a second-place finish in Group B, with six points and six goals scored. The Flamingos will face Japan in the final, who defeated defending champions North Korea in the other semi-final.
