But Ajibade was unstoppable in the 57th minute as she waltzed her way through the Tanzanian defence before slotting the ball beyond Gelwa for Nigeria\u2019s second.<\/p>\n<p>Ajibade completed her brace four minutes past the hour mark to seal victory.<\/p>\n<p>In Conakry, \u2018Les Lionnes\u2019 were simply unstoppable proving too strong for their Guinean hosts. A goal each from Claudia Dabda (12th), Soline Djoubi (28th), Colette Ndzana (29th)  and Alexandra Takounda (45th) gave Cameroon a 4-0 lead at half time.<\/p>\n<p>A brace each from forward Marie Ngah and defender Dolores Tsadia and one from substitute Alice Kameni almost but secured Les Lionnes a place at the next round.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana\u2019s fifth successive appearance at the biennial global championship received a huge boost courtesy Olivia Anokye\u2019s brace and others from Grace Asantewaa, Sandra Owusu-Ansah and Helena Obeng sunk the Algerians at their backyard.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in Sale, Rania Al Salmi and Sana Massoudi scored in either half powered Morocco to a 2-0 win over Senegal.<\/p>\n<p>The second leg matches will take place in a fortnight with the winners progressing to the penultimate round.<\/p>\n<p>Two teams will emerge from the African qualifiers to represent the continent at the FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup scheduled for 5-24 August 2018 in France.<\/p>\n<p><b>Fixtures<\/b><\/p>\n<p>15.09.2017    Algiers           Algeria 0-5 Ghana<\/p>\n<p>16.09.2017    Conakry         Guinea 0-9 Cameroon<\/p>\n<p>16.09.2017    Benin City      Nigeria 3-0 Tanzania<\/p>\n<p>16.09.2017    Sale              Morocco 2-0 Senegal<\/p>\n<p>17.09.2017    Johannesburg South Africa vs Namibia<\/p>\n<p>17.09.2017    Hawassa        Ethiopia vs Kenya<\/p>\n<p>Burundi vs Rwanda*<\/p>\n<p>*Tunisia vs Sierra Leone<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/96124592.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of <b>GHANAsoccernet.com<\/b> &#8211; Ghana&#8217;s leading football news website.
