Golden Eaglets Flaunt Title Credentials With Win Against The United States

A goal each from Chukwudi Agor and Victor Osimhen gave the Golden Eaglets a 2-0 win over USA in the opening match of the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile.

The reigning world champions were the better side in the match played at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos, Santiago.

The breakthrough that they wanted arrived through Agbor five minutes into the second half.

Nigeria continued to control the match and they scored the insurance goal that they wanted courtesy of a quality finish from Osimhen in the 61st minute.

The remaining twenty-nine minutes saw the Yankees coming into the match but their attacks ended in front of the Eaglets’ penalty area while Nigeria’s forward play ended with no end product because of either poor finishing or over-elaborate passing.

Nigeria’s next group match is against hosts Chile on Tuesday night and another win  or even a draw for the Golden Eaglets will give the team passage to the second round of the tournament.
