Flying Eagles lose to Germany, Knocked out of U20 World Cup

The flying eagles of Nigeria have been eliminated from the FIFA U20 World Cup in New Zealand. They started the game strongly and created chances which where not properly utilised and on 19 minutes, Germany took the lead. Stendera’s pressure on Kingsley Sokari led to him stealing the ball just outside the West Africans' box. He found Levin Oztunali at the edge of the area and the grandson of the legendary Uwe Seeler fired home a powerful left-footed shot. All efforts to find an equaliser proved abortive as the Germans manned a strong defence, the game ended 1 - 0 in favour of the Germans. Germany will meet Mali in the Quarter-finals.
