An early goal will go a long way to disrupt Ukraine's tactical approach to the game, and it will also help to boost Flying Eagles' morale to go for more goals before the end of the game.

Though the Flying Eagles scored four goals against Qatar in their first game of the tournament, their midfield setup was in shambles and they left so much space for the Asians to operate.

Aigbogun's men were made to pay for their inability to control the midfield by USA who possessed the ball for most parts of the game. The Yankee youngsters scored two goals to condemn the Flying Eagles to their first defeat of the competition.

Aigbogun must get his tactics right, he must charge his players to go for  maximum points because anything short of this will see them board the next available flight back to Nigeria.
