Nigeria's U-20 female soccer team is to play against South Africa in the second encounter of their tie in the Women's U20 World Cup qualifiers on Feb. 27.

South Africa lost 5-3 to Nigeria in the first leg in Pretoria on Feb. 13.

James Peters, Assistant General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF), who led the team to South Africa, told reporters in Abuja on Wednesday that measures were being taken to correct the mistakes noticed in the first leg.

"Now that we are back, we are going to look at goal-keeping and we are looking again at our condition and our tactics," he said.

"I know that they are not going to come with the same team we beat, they are going to reinforce them but we are ready," he added.
