Two second half goals from Salim Fago and Jude Sunday gave Nigeria’s U-20 team, the Flying Eagles, a second victory at the FIFA U-20 World Cup and a ticket to the second round with a game to go in Group D.
Nigeria won their first game. A come-from-behind 2-1 victory over the Dominican Republic and a second victory over Italy, who beat Brazil in their first match, means the Flying Eagles are through with a game to spare.
This was a close game and Ladan Bosso’s game plan was to clog the midfield with five players while Salim Fago Lawal plowed the lone furrow as the target man. Bosso made one change to the team that started the first match with Tochukwu Nnadi replaced by AC Milan midfielder Andrew Eletu.
