How Group B Table Looks Like After Nigeria Won 3:1 And Poland Won 6:2

According to a report by ESPN on Friday, October 23, 2026, Nigeria’s Flamingos secured an impressive 3-1 victory over defending champions Korea DPR in their final Group B match at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco, while Poland defeated Puerto Rico 6-2 in the other fixture. The results have significantly influenced the final standings, with Nigeria finishing the group stage level on points with Korea DPR and Poland.

The Flamingos delivered an outstanding performance against the defending champions, recovering from their opening-match defeat to Poland to finish the group stage with two consecutive victories. Nigeria’s victory was particularly important because it came against a Korean side that had demonstrated its attacking strength in the earlier matches.

Oluwakemi Adegbuyi opened the scoring for Nigeria in the 15th minute before Oluebube Umejiaku doubled the advantage in the 38th minute. Nigeria extended its lead through another goal from the Flamingos in the second half, while Korea DPR scored a late penalty in the 82nd minute. Nigeria held on to claim all three points with a convincing 3-1 result.

The three leading teams finished with six points each. Korea DPR topped the group, Nigeria finished second, and Poland came third. Nigeria’s superior performance in the matches between the three teams placed the Flamingos ahead of Poland despite both sides having six points.

Nigeria’s final position represents an impressive recovery after losing 2-1 to Poland in their opening fixture. The Flamingos responded by beating Puerto Rico 2-0 before producing their biggest statement of the group stage against the defending champions.

The victory over Korea DPR will provide Nigeria with considerable confidence heading into the knockout stage. Beating the defending champions by two goals also demonstrated the Flamingos’ ability to compete against strong opposition on the international stage.

Poland also ended the group stage on a positive note with their 6-2 victory over Puerto Rico. However, despite scoring six goals, Poland finished behind Nigeria because of the relevant tie-breaking criteria.

Korea DPR, meanwhile, will be disappointed to lose their final group match, although their earlier victories and strong goal difference were enough to keep them at the top of Group B.

Puerto Rico finished bottom without a point after losing all three matches.

Nigeria’s 3-1 victory over Korea DPR and Poland’s 6-2 win over Puerto Rico confirmed the final Group B standings. The Flamingos finished second with six points, behind Korea DPR, while Poland took third place. The results gave Nigeria a strong finish to the group stage and strengthened their position as they continued their campaign at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
