Suwon 2015: Nigeria 2-1 Brazil

The Golden Eaglets have had a first taste of victory after defeating Brazil in the Suwon 4-Nation tournament holding in South Korea.

Nigeria U17 team were 2-1 better than their Brazil U17 opponents at the ongoing Suwon International tournament in South Korea.

First half strikes from Kingsley Michael and Chukwudi Agor  were all the Golden Eaglets needed to subdue Carlos Amadeu’s boys at the Suwon World Cup Stadium, though Brazil pulled one back courtesy of David Enogela’s second half own goal.


Emmanuel Amuneke’s side shot into the lead in the 20th minute through Michael after converting from close range after a rebounce from goalkeeper Juliano off Victor Oshimen’s shot.

In the 32nd minute, Agor got his name on the scorers’ sheet for his first international goal after  a pass from Oshimen.

In the second half, the Brazilians came out smoky and hit the wood ward in the 54th minute and four minutes later Vitinho forced goalkeeper Udoh Akpan to make a fine save.

Towards the end of the game, Enogela beat his own goalkeeper to give the south Americans a goal. Nigeria face Croatia in their last game of the tournament with Brazil squaring up with hosts, Korea Republic.
