How Australia brought Eaglets down to earth in Brasilia

Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets surrendered their 100 percent winning records at the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil after they were beaten 2-1 by Australia in the last Group B match on Friday.

 

Nigeria went into the clash at the Estadio Bezerrão, Brasilia on Friday with six maximum points from previous two game played and needed at least a draw to be finished as the Group.

Australia took the lead in the 14th minute courtesy of Noah Botic after a quick counter-attack.

 

Olawale restored parity for Nigeria in the 21st minute and set Nigeria for another impressive come back.

 

Australians regained the lead after Romanian referee Istvan Kovacs awarded them a penalty which Botic converted for his brace.
