IMG_1675

The Flying Eagles of Nigeria continued their build up to the World Youth Championship with a 5-0 thrashing of  FC Nurnberg's Under-23 side.
Striker Taiwo Awoniyi gave them a 2-0 lead via his brace, before further goals from Kingsley Sokari and Ibrahim Alhassan gave them a 4-0 lead.
Taking a commanding lead into the half time break, the second half witnessed a pedestrian approach from the Nigerians, before Ibrahim Alhassan, who is on standby, scored to give them a commanding 5-0 lead.
No other goal was scored in the second half, handing them their second win in two games but coach Manu Garba will however be pleased with his side's defensive display.
The coach wasn't totally impress with the manner in which they conceded goals against Hoffeinheim in their 5-2 victory, hence the clean sheet is a welcome development.
Despite that , Sports Yarn scooped he was still not entirely satisfied with his team after the game as he complained about scoring just once in the second half after the four they had in the first half.
