Odds Favour A Golden Eaglets Win, Have A 100 Percent Record Against Australia
Published: October 25, 2015
The odds are in favour of the Golden Eaglets to beat Australia and qualify for the quarter - finals of the Fifa Under 17 World Cup when both countries clash at the Estadio Sausalito, Viña del Mar.
Australia’s reward for finishing third in Group C is a meeting with the defending champions on Wednesday night.
Of the five previous encounters with the Golden Eaglets in previous editions of the Fifa Under 17s, the Asian reps have lost all and scored only twice.
Christopher Nwosu’s goal in the 59th minute gave the Golden Eaglets a 1 - 0 win over the Joeys in one of the quarter - final games at Canada 2007 while Nwankwo Kanu and Wilson Oruma were on target in the second half in a group fixture that ended 2 - 0 back in 1993.
In 1995, that same scoreline was repeated at the Estadio Olímpico de Riobamba, Riobamba, with the goals coming from Edward Anyamkygh and James Obiora in the 59th and 90th minute respectively.
Nigeria’s biggest win against the Aussies was in 2001. Femi Opabunmi bagged a hat - trick in the 5 - 1 rout of the opponents.
John Obi Mikel and Bala netted in the Golden Eaglets 2 - 1 win over Australia in the group stage of the Fifa Under 17 World Cup hosted by Finland.
