Golden Eaglets Take Healthy Lead To Conakry
Nigeria Under 17s outplayed their Guinean counterparts on Sunday afternoon, with a handsome 3 - 0 win over the opponents at the U.J. Esuene Stadium, Calabar. <br /><br />The Golden Eaglets, three - time champions of the Fifa Under 17 World Cup, scored two goals in the first half through Success Isaac (25th minute) and Kelechi Iheanacho (44th minute).<br /><br />The first half scoreline could have been more formidable for the Golden Eaglets but for a series of fine saves by the brilliant Ganaika Ibrahima in goal for Guinea.<br /><br />16 minutes into the second half, Alhassan Ibrahim netted the third goal for Nigeria after some brilliant work down the right flank by Kelechi Iheanacho.<br /><br />Based on the 3-0 first leg advantage, we can assume that the Eaglets have qualified for the 2013 CAF Under 17 championship except a miracle happens in Conakry in a fortnight.<br /><br /><br />
