Nigeria’s Flying Eagles delivered a bold statement of intent on Friday at the 2019 FIFA Under-20 World Cup with a 4-0 whipping of Qatar in their Group D opening match. Qatar did have their chances, with Zulkifilu Rabiu catapulting himself across the Tychy turf to make an outstanding block from Yusuf Abdurisag. Flying Eagles goalkeeper Olawale Oremade was also alert to break up a three-on-one break from which the underdogs should have made more. The teams return to action on Monday, when Qatar face Ukraine and Nigeria take on the U.S. Honduras will now take on Uruguay on Monday, while New Zealand face Norway on the same day.
