The Golden
Eaglets of Nigeria on Tuesday qualified for the final of the FIFA Under-17
World Cup holding in the United Arab Emirates by beating their Sweden
counterparts, Blagult, 3-0.
Taiwo Awoniyi
scored Nigeria opening goal in the 21st minute of the first half.
The stiff
opposition mounted by the Swedes after the goal failed to fetch them the
equalizer.
When it
seemed they might get a goal in the second half, Samuel Okon fired in the
Eaglets second goal with a left foot cracker while Chidi Ezeh tapped in a
minute later to seal the Swedes hope of making it to the final in their debut
at the global meet.
Nigeria will
meet Mexico, who beat South American power house, Argentina 3-0 in Dubai.
The Eaglets
defeated Mexico 6-1 in their group game.
