The Flying Eagles of Nigeria began their quest for glory at the 2019 U20 Fifa World Cup after humbling Qatar 4-0 in their opening game of the competition on Friday in Tychy Poland.
The Afcon U20 Semifinalist made their 12th appearance on the 22nd edition of the tournament after coming close to winning the competition on two occasions (1989 and 2005). While Qatar will be at their fourth appearance and they will be hoping to better their second-place finish achieved in Australia 1981.
Goals from Maxwell Effiom, Okechukwu Offia, Manchester City’s Dele-Bashiru, and Salawudeen sealed the victory for the Flying Eagles. Victory leaves Paul Aigbogun’s side on three points in Group D ahead of their crunch match against 1989 semifinalist United States on Monday and Thursday final group game against Ukraine.
