Defending champions of the FIFA U-17 World Cup championships Nigeria, advanced to a quarter-final meeting against Brazil.
The
rode to victory on the back of a hat-trick from the impressive Victor
Osimhen, ending Australia’s run with a one-sided 6-0 victory in Vina Del
Mar.
The two goal margin at half time seemed to inspire the
Nigerians who took a greater hold as the half wore on creating several
half-openings around the Aussie goal.
Osimhen scored twice in the space of six minutes, the second with another laser-perfect drive into the top corner.
The
deflated Aussies conceded to more goals in the dying minutes as firstly
substitute Edidiong Michael Essien, and then Samuel Chukwueze,
inflicted further pain as Nigeria stormed into the last-eight in
confident fashion.
