The Flying Eagles of Nigeria have advanced to the knock-out stages of the U-20 FIFA World Cup after playing to a 1-1 draw against Colombia at the Estadio Fiscal de Talca,
Like they did against Norway and Saudi Arabia, Aliyu Zubairu's boys struck the woodwork early in the game courtesy of a Daniel Daga header in the third minute, but it was Colombia who took the lead in the 20th minute through Oscar Perea, only for the goal to be pulled back for offside.
They eventually broke the deadlock in the 51st minute. A well-worked build-up play saw Kener Gonzalez shoot at Ebenezer Harcourt, but a deflection took the ball away from the Sporting Lagos goalkeeper.
