U17 World Cup : Top Three Golden Eaglets Who Could Prove Decisive For Nigeria Vs Netherlands

 
While they have thrilled and frustrated in equal measure, they have, more often than not, banked on individual prowess to bail them out in games.

But which of these Eaglets have been the force driving this team and could prove decisive on Wednesday ?

Akinwumi Amoo: Though he is yet to open his goal account in the competition for this team, the attacking midfielder has been one of the most creative players in the side, and his ability to feint past players in Messi-esque style has won him even more admirers at the tournament.

Against a team with the quality like the Oranje, one will expect Amoo star from the off so as to get a better assessment of his quality.

Ibrahim Sa'id: Sa'id hit the ground running in the competition with a treble against Ecuador in the team's second group game and is expected to be yet another influential player for the side going forward.

His high-energy fitness level and his ability to pitch in at a number of positions could prove even more pivotal in the course of the rest of their adventure.

Tijani Samson: The skipper has been the main force driving his teammates on late in games and covering any lapses in concentration.

He is also adept at finding the net with his incisive set pieces, as he displayed with a brace versus Hungary. Expect to see him add to his haul or even lay off that defence-splitting pass against Holland.
