The press in Nigeria launched harsh comments against the Colombian women's national team after they qualified for the semi-final of the Under-20 World Cup

Following the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, the Nigerian press issued harsh criticism against the Colombia women's national team after Colombia advanced to the tournament semifinals.

According to media reports, Nigerian commentators attributed the elimination of their national team—known as the Falconets—directly to the expulsion of player Kafayat Mafisere, which forced the team to play with ten players during a critical stretch of the match.
