Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets were due to land in Chile, venue of the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup on Tuesday afternoon.
The
Golden Eaglets who have been preparing hard for the competition rounded
off their training tour of Argentina with a 3-1 win over Racing Club of
Buenos Aires.
A
brace from Victor Osimhen plus a third from Samuel Chukwueze ensured a
convincing win over the Argentine outfit whose goal was scored by
Gutiares.
According
to coach Emmanuel Amuneke, the training tour of Argentina has really
added immense value to the team, while stating their objective was to
win the world title.
“The
most important thing is to see the players go from strength to strength
and I’m particularly pleased with their performance against Racing
today,” Amuneke told NFF website.
“We are impressed because the Eaglets were able to implement all what we have been teaching them since we started.
“We
are not getting carried away despite winning our two matches here but
we are happy we have achieved part of our objectives of coming to
Argentina but we are grateful for the opportunity to be here, for our
preparation; we have been struggling to adjust to the cold weather
since it is colder in Chile.
“The
World Cup is a different ball game because all the 24 teams have the
chance to win, but we are going to Chile with the objective of defending
the trophy and we are looking forward to a good tournament.”
Nigeria
faces the United States of America on Saturday at the Estadio Nacional
Julio Martínez Prádanos, Santiago in the opening group match.
