Nigeria’s U-20 team pulled off a major upset on Wednesday night, June 1, 2023, by defeating Argentina’s U-20 team 2-0 to advance to the quarterfinals of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

The Flying Eagles, as Nigeria’s U-20 team is known, took the lead in the 61st minute through Ibrahim Muhammad. The lead was doubled in stoppage time thanks to a goal from Rilwanu Sarki.

Argentina had several chances to equalize, but they were unable to find the back of the net. The Flying Eagles held on for the win to set up a quarterfinal clash against either Korea Republic or Ecuador.

The win was a major upset, as Argentina was considered one of the favorites to win the tournament. However, Nigeria played a strong game and were able to get the result they needed to advance.

This is Nigeria’s second consecutive appearance in the quarterfinals of the FIFA U-20 World Cup. They last reached this stage in 2019, when they were eliminated by Ukraine.

The Flying Eagles are hoping to go one step further this time around and reach the semifinals of the tournament. They will need to play their best football if they want to achieve their goal.

Here are some of the key factors that contributed to Nigeria’s victory:

Strong defense: The Flying Eagles’ defense was outstanding throughout the game. They were able to keep Argentina’s attack at bay for most of the game, and they only conceded two goals from set pieces.
Clinical finishing: The Flying Eagles were clinical in front of goal. They took their chances when they came, and they were able to score two goals from two shots on target.
Team spirit: The Flying Eagles played with a lot of team spirit and determination. They never gave up, even when Argentina were putting them under pressure.
The Flying Eagles’ victory over Argentina is a major boost for Nigerian football. It shows that the country has a bright future in youth football. The Flying Eagles will now be looking to reach the semifinals of the FIFA U-20 World Cup for the first time since 2005.

Here are some of the players who stood out for Nigeria:

Ibrahim Muhammad: The striker scored the opening goal for Nigeria and was a constant threat throughout the game.
Rilwanu Sarki: The defender scored the winning goal for Nigeria in stoppage time and was solid at the back.
Ishaq Rafiu: The midfielder was excellent in the middle of the park and controlled the game for Nigeria..

Nigeria will now face either Korea Republic or Ecuador in the quarterfinals of the tournament. The match will be played on Saturday, June 4. The Flying Eagles will be confident of reaching the semifinals, but they will need to be at their best to overcome their opponents.

They should remain focused.

That's how they'll start making mouth now and then... enter scouts and they'll play rubbish and lose 3-0 against odds.

You never revenge anything. Beating their junior team hasn't really been a problem for us. We beat them sometimes, they beat us other times. Beating their senior team is the only time we can actually claim revenge

If you are an Arsenal or Chelsea Fan and also go about shouting EEEELLLLUPEEEEE inshort …..Obidient. You need a big hug right now. Things are not easy for you I know! But what are friends for?

Meanwhile OBI at the court today! 👇 He’s just wasting everybody time. I am wondering what this clueless man will tell the court that Atiku and Tinubu stole the mandate he never won.
