Amuneke Opts For Attacking Trident Of Osimhen, Bamgboye And Ebere
Published: November 08, 2015
For the final of the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup, Golden Eaglets coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, has made one change to the starting line - up that beat Mexico on Thursday.
As expected, he has kept faith with goalkeeper Akpan Udoh while he will stick with same back four, the impressive wing - backs John Lazarus and Udochukwu Anumudu, Lukman Zakari and Ejike Ikwu.
Skipper Kelechi Nwakali will start in midfield alongside David Enogela and Samuel Chukwueze .
Coach Amuneke faced a tough decision to make in attack, with the return of Funsho Bamgboye but he has opted for an attacking trident of Victor Osimhen, Ebere Osinachi and the Aspire Academy starlet, meaning Orji Okonkwo drops to the bench.
The game kicks off at the Estadio Sausalito, Viña del Mar at 2300 hours Nigerian time.
Golden Eaglets Starting XI : Udoh, John, Zakari, Ikwu, Anumudu, Enogela, Nwakali, Chukwueze, Bamgboye, Osimhen and Osinachi.
Mali Starting XI : Diarra, Dante, Bagayoko, Fofana, Sangare, Diakite, Haidara, Maiga, Malle, Traore, Koita
