Nigeria’s
Golden Eaglets are cruising to the semi-finals of the U17 World Cup as
they lead three-time champions Brazil 3-0 at half time.
The Eaglets are now looking good for a semi-final showdown with the winners of the quarterfinal between Mexico and Ecuador slated for Monday night.
Brazil, who made four changes to their starting lineup against New Zealand, started the brighter of the two teams, but they failed to put away the several chances they created, before Victor Osimhen opened scoring for Nigeria after 29 minutes for his eighth goal of the tournament.
Kingsley Michael doubled the Africans lead in the 30th minute off a delivery by Osimhen, before Udochukwu Anumudu made it 3-0 in the 34th minute
When both sides clashed in an invitational tournament in Suwon, South Korea, recently Nigeria won 2-1.
