Edafe Egbedi put the impenetrable defence of the U20 English squad to the sword last night as he scored a 52nd minute winner as Nigeria edged England 1-0 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Under-20 World Cup on Wednesday.

The under- strength England squad leaves the tournament without scoring a goal in four games. The English made the second round on the back of three 0-0 draws. Egbedi ended their run when he scored from within the penalty area in the first seven minutes of the second half.

The free scoring Flying Eagles, who have won all four of their matches, had many more chances to extend their lead but were denied by the brilliant England goalkeeper Jack Butland. England nearly got back in the game when Matthew Phillips shot over the cross bar, after getting free of the Nigerian defenders.

Under-20 World Cup finalists in 1989 and 2005, Nigeria will either play France or Ecuador, in the quarterfinals.
