Fynestboi: whao thank God u brought this up yourself, your thread was opened when the game was still on, that was an offence. I see no reason why you had to open a thread when a knock out match (quarter final) its yet to be decided...

Lolz I wrote Sweden Vs Nigeria/Uruguay, after the match I changed it to Sweden Vs Nigeria since we won the game

Nobody can stop Nigeria from winning the game

Three-time champion Nigeria booked their place in the semifinals of the Fifa U-17 World Cup in UAE with a 2-0 win over Uruguay in Sharjah.

Taiwo Awoniyi – deputising for the injured Success Isaac – scored both goals in a game that was a true test of the Golden Eaglets’ title aspirations. The African favourites will now meet Sweden in the semifinal round, in a replay of their 3-3 Group F draw.

Uruguay had the first chance of note after only six minutes when Enrique Etcheverry crossed low through the penalty area. The impressive Leandro Otormin got a boot to the ball, but could only direct his effort wide of goal. It was a false dawn for the 2011 runners-up, however, as the Golden Eaglets took the game by the scruff of the neck after 18 minutes.

The Nigerians, who scored 18 goals in their four games heading into the quarterfinal round, opened the scoring from a fabulous piece of creative interplay. Kelechi Iheanacho, scorer of five goals at these finals, laid a wonderful through ball, perfectly weighted, from deep in midfield that was latched onto by Taiwo Awoniyi. The striker made no mistake, hitting home to the back post for his second goal of the tournament.

Stunned into action, the South Americans had a decent spell shortly after. Kevin Mendez and Otormin both tested Dele Alampasu from distance with powerful efforts. But it was Nigeria who controlled most of the possession and created the more dangerous chances. Captain Musa Muhammed’s cross from the right after 34 minutes was only just missed on the doorstep by the tall and rangy Awoniyi.

The second half started with a flurry of chances for Nigeria, Awoniyi and Musa Yahaya both going close to scoring after creating space for themselves at the edge of the penalty area. Uruguay were hanging on, absorbing wave after wave of Nigerian attacks. In the 68th minute, Iheanacho turned and fired from the edge of the box only for his shot to come flying off the back of a brave Uruguayan defender.

The knockout blow finally came in the 79th minute, and it followed the same pattern as the first Nigerian goal. Iheanacho picked up a perfect pass at the edge of the area from Chidiebere Nwakali and carried the ball toward goal with an elegant touch. The Uruguayan defence collapsed on the No 10, but he had the presence of mind to pull the ball across the face of goal, where Awoniyi stabbed home inside the far post to send the fans into hysterics.

Manu Garba’s Nigeria now move on to their seventh U-17 World Cup semifinal, where they will face another thorough examination in the form of the organised and talented Swedes in Dubai.

MODS do something!!!

Please don't behave like Obiano..

Abeg...........

God will bring the Perpetrators to book

The senseful ministers will actually know that what Oduah did was wrong, so you don't expect them to be celebrating corruption..

And to those of you saying the The Nation= Tinubu, keep saying it, because I know any newspaper which seems not to be in support of the Government is for Tinubu according to you..

If Tribune should bring this kind of news tomorrow, you'll still blame it on Tinubu
