Nigeria reach U-17 Women’s World Cup semi-finals as Hibernian reach Scottish League Cup final

Nigeria’s Flamingos have reached the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup after beating Venezuela 1-0, Channels Television reported. Azeezat Oduntan scored from the penalty spot in the 89th minute, giving Nigeria a late breakthrough in a closely contested quarter-final. The Nigerian side had pressed for a goal throughout the match.

Channels Television names Kanyinsola Yusuf, Mary Dunstan, Tosin Rafiu and Oluebube Umejiaku among the players who attempted to score before Oduntan converted the decisive penalty. Venezuela continued to create chances, particularly near the end of the match. Astrid Granadillo and Abril Alejo were identified as part of the late threat, but Nigeria held on through eight minutes of added time to preserve its narrow advantage.

The victory represents a recovery for the Flamingos after they lost their opening match 2-1 to Poland. They then defeated Puerto Rico 2-0, defending champions North Korea 3-1 and Mexico 2-1 before overcoming Venezuela in the last eight. Nigeria will play Brazil in the semi-finals on Wednesday, November 4, at Rabat’s Moulay El Hassan Stadium.

Brazil reached the same stage by coming from behind to beat China 2-1, according to Channels Television. The supplied reports also include a separate Scottish football result. Sky Sports reports that Hibernian beat Hearts 2-1 at Hampden, with Jamie McGrath scoring the winning goal.

The victory sent Hibs into the Scottish League Cup final against Rangers and marked the first time Hibernian had beaten their rivals at Hampden, according to the report’s headline. Because the two supplied reports concern different matches and competitions, they cannot be combined into one match narrative. The Nigerian report is about an international youth women’s tournament in Morocco, while the Sky Sports report concerns a Scottish domestic cup semi-final.

The confirmed outcomes are therefore twofold: Nigeria are into the U-17 Women’s World Cup semi-finals against Brazil, while Hibernian have advanced to a Scottish League Cup final against Rangers. The supplied material gives no further detail on the date or venue of that final.
