Nigerian Golden Eaglets continued their
impressive run at the ongoing FIFA U-17 World
Cup as they defeated Mexico 4-2 to advance to
the final of the Championship. The Mexican
team got the first goal of the game 7 minutes
into the game through Magana, before Kelechi
Nwakali got the equalizer in the 35th minute.
Young player Orji Okonkwo put the Golden
Eaglets in front just before the half time break
with a well-taken free-kick as the Eaglets ended
the first on a high note.
The Mexicans increased the tempo of the game
in the second half and were rewarded when D.
Cortes’s shot found the back of the net. Osinachi
Ebere restored the Golden Eaglet’s lead before
Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen made it 4 with a
penalty to take his goal tally to 9 goals in the
2015 U-17 World CUP Championship in Chile.
Nigeria will now face Mali in an all African Final
on Sunday.
