Nigeria vs Qatar ended in a 4-0 win, in a Group D U-20 World Cup match currently going on in Poland The Flying Eagles dominated the match from the blast of the whistle scoring two first half goals and two in the second to get maximum points to top the group.
Mohammed Waad’s free kick in the eighth minute was the best chance in the opening 10 minutes of the match as the ball went just wide.
But in the 12th minute, Nigeria got their noses in front courtesy of a sublime move down the left from Ikouwem Utin. Maxwell Effiom was on had to volley home Utin’s cross which the goalkeeper got a hand to it to give Nigeria a 1-0 lead against the Middle East nation.
