Flamingoes have been handed a chance to avenge a 2-1 defeat in a group game by Germany when both teams battle for third-place at the U17 World Cup in India Sunday.
In the first semifinal, Flamingoes fell 6-5 to Colombia after it was scoreless at the end of regulation time, while European champions Germany were stunned by a late winner by reigning world champions Spain in the other semifinal.
The Flamingoes took the lead against the Germans in an opening Group B tie before the Europeans fought back to win 2-1.
The third-place match will be played in Navi Mumbai preceding the Final between Colombia and Spain at the same venue on Sunday.
Nigeria have already made history in India after they crossed beyond the quarterfinal of this tournament after three previous attempts.
