Emmanuel Amuneke Makes Two Changes To Starting XI

Coach Emmanuel Amuneke has made two changes to his starting XI for the semi - final clash against Mexico at Estadio Municipal de Concepción, Concepción, with Aspire Academy striker Funsho Bamgboye missing out through suspension.

Otherwise, the former Zamalek star has stuck with nine players that shone like a million stars in the 3 - 0 win over Brazil.

Akpan Udoh gets the nod to be in between the pipes for the sixth time while Lazarus, Zakari and Ikwu have all retained their defensive positions.

Skipper Kelechi Nwakali will make his sixth straight start and he is joined in midfield by Enogela and Samuel Chukwueze.

The absence of Funsho Bamgboye has opened a space in attack for Christian Ebere. Top scorer Victor Osimhen will lead the charge for goals.

Golden Eaglets Starting XI : Udoh, Lazarus, Zakari, Enogela, Okonkwo ,Anumudu, Chukwueze, Nwakali, Ebere, Osimhen and Ikwu

Mexico Starting XI : Romero; Cortes, Esquivel, Venegas, Cervantes, K. Lara, Lopez, Aguirre, Zamudio,  Magana, E. Lara
