the fastest goal scored in the history of the U20 World Cup in the
ongoing game against Tahiti at the Lublin Stadium, Lublin.

Flying Eagles finished third in the tournament held in the old Soviet
Union, with Odiaka finding the net on three occasions.
Amadou
Sagna has bagged the first hat-trick of the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup,
scoring again in the 29th and 50th minute to give Senegal a 3-0 lead
with eight minutes left as at the time of this report.
The Flying Eagles will face Qatar in their opening game in Tychy, starting from 1700 hours on Friday, May 24.
