Golden Eaglets will on Saturday aim to halt Nigeria’s losing run against Uruguay this year.
In June, Uruguay full international team beat the Super Eagles 2-1 at
the FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil and the South Americans recorded
the same win at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey in a round of 16
clash.
Besides gunning for the scalp of Uruguay, the Nigeria youngsters also
seek a place in the last four of the U-17 World Cup as they stay on
course for a fourth world title at this age level, while the Uruguayans
are looking for their first title.
This is the first time both nations are meeting at this level.
Uruguay finished second in the last edition of the competition after losing to Mexico 2-0 in the final.
MTNFootball.com reports that Uruguay has met African opponents at the U-17 World Cup four times, lost two times and won twice.
