Nigeria smash New Zealand in U17

The FIFA U17 World Cup continues with Nigeria recording the biggest win of the tournament so far. A 5-0 victory over New Zealand have given them a place in the quarter-final.

The Golden Eaglets dominated from start to finish and opened the scoring in the 14th minute through Edafe Egbedi, who scored with a left-foot scorcher with a great assist by Terry Envoh.

Nigeria doubled their lead 10 minutes later when Stanley Okoro smashed home after New Zealand goalkeeper Coey Turipa spilled a shot.

Egbedi grabbed his second goal of the game on 28 minutes when he collected a short pass in the area and curled another left-footed strike inside the far post.

Five minutes later, things went from bad to worse for the young Kiwis as Cameron Lindsay was given his marching order for a nasty tackle.

The second half saw the Nigerians turn on the style, focusing more on impressing the Abuja National Stadium crowd with their deft flicks and cheeky tricks than on putting the ball in the Kiwis' net.
