vizboy: Golden Eaglets to face Iran in U17 World Cup
round of 16 after 5-0 demolition of Iraq Posted by peter omenuko in Sports on October 26, 2013 NIGERIA’S Golden Eaglets will be facing Iran in the next stage of
the U17 World Cup taking place in the United Arab
Emirates after toping their group yesterday with a 5-0
demolition of Iraq. Living up to their billing as one of the tournament’s
favourites, the Eaglets cruised to an early victory in
their last group game in Dubai yesterday. This follows
on from a similarly impressive 6-1 victory over Mexico
and a 2-2- draw with Sweden, which enabled them
top of Group F with 14 goals scored and only four conceded. Yesterday’s game at the Rashid Stadium in Dubai
was a one-sided affair with the Eaglets scoring four
times in the first half. Nigeria has not lost a group-
stage game at a U-17 World Cup since 1993 and the
Eaglets were in no mood to start today, with Chidi
Nwakali hitting the woodwork after only two minutes. Seconds later, the team opened the scoring when
Musa Yahaya was fouled in the area and
namesake Musa Mohammed converted from the
spot. From then onwards, it was goals galore as the
Eaglets cruised to victory with three more in the 17th,
41st and 90th minutes. Eaglets coach Manu Garba, said: ” We were helped
by the two early goals, but they’re a very organised
unit and they played well. I think they’ll have a
bigger part to play when the next U-20 World Cup rolls
around.” Nigeria now plays Iran at the Al Ain stadium on
Tuesday October 29 where the eaglets are favourites
to win and qualify for the quarter finals where they
will meet either Uruguay or Slovakia. Africa’s three
other teams in the tournament all made it through to
the last 16, with Ivory Coast, Tunisia and Morocco managing to scrape through.
