The Battle Line Has Been Drawn

Nigeria, Brazil battle for U-17 World Cup semi final ticket — LIVE UPDATES

Eaglets-celebrate
After their 6-0 demolition of Australia, the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria are set for action again and this time it’s against world football power, Brazil.
Although this is the first time Nigeria will be playing against the South Americans at this stage, both teams had the chance of sizing themselves up in the Suwon pre-tournament championship. The Golden Eaglets ran away with a 2-1 win.
Tonight at the Estadio Sausalito in Vina del Mar, Chile, the stakes are quite higher as a place in the semi finals is up for grabs. With no room for errors or a second chance, many expect an explosive encounter.
