FIFA U-20 World Cup: Brazil Beat Nigeria 4 - 2

The Nigeria U-20 team, the Flying Eagles, were beaten 4-2 by their Brazilian counterparts in their first match of the ongoing FIFA U-20 tournament in New Zealand played early Monday morning.

The African Champions started quite poorly against the South Americans and they were already behind four minutes into the game as Gabriel Jesus profited from poor defending in the Nigeria back-line to put Brazil in the lead.

Isaac Success however made history as he became the first Nigerian player ever to score against Brazil at the FIFA U-20 World Cup as he provided the equaliser for the Flying Eagles in the 10th minute.

From then, both teams matched themselves fire for fire with some end-end action as Brazil tried to regain the lead and Nigeria also gunning for same mission.

In the end it was Nigeria that got in front when Musa Yahaya wriggled and turned through the Brazil defence before firing a thunder bolt into the Brazil net to make scores 2-1.

Nigeria’s lead was however short-lived as Judivan pulled Brazil level minutes after Taiwo Awoniyi missed a glorious chance to double Nigeria’s lead.

The status quo was kept through the first half as both teams returned to the dressing room all-squared at 2-2.

While the Nigeria performance was not top notch in the first half especially in the backline, it was much worse in the second half.

The Brazilians made the most of this and scored two more goals in the second period .

Boschilia pulled the trigger just before the hour mark and goalkeeper Enaholo who had a below average performance on the day could not find any answer.

The already bad situation got worse as Enaholo’s howler in the 82nd minute saw Judivan completing his brace and effectively taking the game off the reach of Nigeria as the game ended 4-2 in favour of the five-time champions.

Nigeria will hope they can bounce back in their other two group games against Korea and Hungary in the days ahead.
