Revamped Flamingos earned a big away win as they thrashed Guinea in the India 2020 World Cup qualification battle in Conakry, Guinea.

Chinyere Kalu started the goal feast of the night in a 1-6 victory with the opener three minutes just after kick off as Yemisi Samuel bagged an hatrick in the 11’, 85’, 91’ mins respectively to take home the match ball.

Rofiat Imuran compounded the host woes with a brace, ruining the thier hope of a comeback fight when they play Flamingos on March 14 in Nigeria despite Guinea getting a consolation goal in the 81st minute.

In other fixtures, Zambia take on South Africa, Liberia lock horns with Ghana while Botswana face Morocco. Tanzania will square up against Uganda in the final round just as São Tomé and Príncipe compete against Cameroon.

The winners of the six qualifying ties will then progress to a third and final stage, where the same two-legged, home-and-away format will be used to determine Africa’s three representatives at India 2020.
