Defender John Lazarus Says It Is Payback Time For Golden EagletsDespite qualifying for the round of 16 at the Fifa Under 17s, the Golden Eaglets will not take their feet off the gas when they confront Croatia at the Estadio Francisco Sanchez Rumoroso in Coquimbo on Friday, according to defender John Lazarus.

Only last month, the Nigeria U17s threw away a one - goal lead before losing 3 - 2 to the Europeans at the Suwon U-17 Invitational Tournament.

We were unlucky against Croatia in Suwon because we were leading them 2-1 until few minutes to the end of the match,” said defender John Lazarus to thenff.com.

They got a penalty to equalize and the winning goal later and that stopped us from winning the tournament .

We wont allow that to happen against us on Friday and we will  work harder to win.
