Nigeria’s U-17s, the Golden Eaglets, on Friday
defeated Brazil 2-1 at the on-going Suwon
Continental Cup International Youth (U-17) Football
Tournament in Korea..

Kingsley Michael and Chukwudi Agor scored two
first-half goals while David Enogela conceded a
second-half own goal to get the Brazilians back in
the game.
The Eaglets, who had drawn 1-1 with hosts Korea
on Wednesday, shot their way to the top of the
Four-Nation Tournament with four points.

The Golden Eaglets took the lead through Michael in
the 20th minute when he delicately placed the ball
behind Juliano after the goalkeeper had initially
saved Victor Oshimen’s powerful shot.
Twelve minutes later, Osimhen again laid the ball on
the path of Chukwudi Agor who shot from an acute
angle to score his first goal in national team
colours.

The Brazilians swooped on the Eaglets in the
second half and Evander saw his shot ricochet off
the bar in the 54th minute and goalkeeper Udoh
Akpan was at his best to punch away Vitinho’s
volley in the 60th minute.

In attendance to watch the game on Friday,
according to the Nigeria Football Federation
website, were NFF’s board member, Alhaji Ahmad
Kawu; Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme (NFF Deputy General
Secretary), NFF’s FIFA Match Agent, Jairo Pachon,
and a handful of Nigerian spectators.
