Nigeria will battle with the Netherlands in the FIFA U20 Women World Cup quarterfinal tie on Sunday at 11:30pm (local time).

The Falconets finished top of Group C defeating France and South 1-0 and rounded off the group stages with a 3-1 comeback win against Canada.

Falconets Captain and defender, Tosin Demehin says Nigerians should expect excellent performances from the Falconets.

"I want to thank God for the games in the group stage and for making us come out top from the group. We have played and won all the three games from the group and making a good record being the first team ever to win all the group matches since the tournament started.

"The players are not relenting, we know that the knockout stages are different ball game and we are also going into the knockout stage with different mentality and strategy. So Nigerians should be expecting a wonderful performance from us.

"At this point in time, we really need Nigerians, their supports and prayers more than how they supported us in the group stage. We also need the supports of Africans because we are not just representing Nigeria but Africa. Being the only African in the tournament. There is nothing to panick about. Netherlands match is nothing to be afraid of because we have different strategies and mentality to see them off."

The two time finalist will be hoping to go one step further and lift the U-20 World cup trophy.
