According to a report by Flashscore on Friday, October 23, 2026, Nigeria's Flamingos forward Oluwakemi Adegbuyi was among the key players expected to make a difference as the team faced defending champions Korea DPR in their final Group B match at the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco.

The encounter ended in a memorable 3-1 victory for Nigeria, with Adegbuyi opening the scoring in the 15th minute. Her early goal gave the Flamingos the confidence they needed to challenge the defending champions and move closer to securing qualification for the Round of 16.

Adegbuyi's goal was an important moment in the match, as Nigeria needed a positive result after losing their opening game against Poland. The forward showed her attacking instincts by finding the net early, putting pressure on Korea DPR and giving her teammates a strong platform to build on.

The Flamingos doubled their advantage in the 38th minute when Oluebube Umejiaku scored the second goal. Nigeria continued their impressive performance after the interval, with Kanyinsola Yusuf converting a free kick in the 56th minute to make it 3-0.

Korea DPR managed to pull one goal back through Yu Jong Hyang in the 82nd minute, but Nigeria held on to complete a 3-1 victory and book their place in the knockout stage.

Adegbuyi's contribution against Korea DPR was particularly important because she had also scored in Nigeria's previous group-stage victory over Puerto Rico. She opened the scoring in that 2-0 win on October 20, a performance that earned her the official Player of the Match award from FIFA.

Her goal against Korea DPR further underlined her importance to the Nigerian attack. Scoring against the defending champions on such a crucial occasion will provide encouragement as the Flamingos prepare for the next stage of the competition.
