Golden Eaglets beat Brazil 3-0

Nigeria’s Golden Eaglet got a step closer to their pursuit for a fifth FIFA U-17 World Cup title as they walloped their Brazilian counterparts 3-0 to advance to the semi finals.

After a 2-1 defeat against Croatia in the last group game, the Golden Eaglets bounced back to winning ways to trounce Australia 6-0 in their second round game with top scorer of the tournament  Victor Osimhen netting a treble.

Brazil scraped through its last 16 clash against New Zealand and had to improve to beat the Eaglets.

However, goals in the space of five minutes from top scorer Osimhen, Michael and Anumudu was enough for Nigeria to ease past through to the semis.
