The Flying Eagles of Nigeria exit the Under-20 World Cup: Nigeria 1-2 Uruguay
Uruguay shut down Nigeria's hopes
of lifting a first ever Under-20 World Cup as the Flying Eagles crashed out in the
round of 16 fixtures at teh World Youth Championship in Turkey.
Right before the second-half of the
game, Flying Eagles Abdullahi Shehu was shown a straight red card making it a 10-men
game as they lost 2-1 to Uruguay.
Nicolas Lopez scored both goals for
Uruguay, including a penalty, while Olarenwaju Kayode briefly made things level
for Nigeria.
Ghana will be the only team
representing for Africa in the tournament as they take on Portugal in the last
16 on Wednesday. Good-luck guys!
