The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria will today, Saturday by 5:00pm be playing their Uruguay counterparts at the Sharjah Stadium in the quarter finals of the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup.

The Eaglets have promised to avenge previous defeats suffered by other Nigerian teams in the hands of the South Americans.

Injured Golden Eaglets’ vice captain, Success Isaac, assured that his teammates would overrun Uruguay to avenge the defeat inflicted on the Flying Eagles at the last FIFA U-20 World Cup Championship in Turkey.

It would be recalled that about last three months, the South Americans beat a 10-man Flying Eagles 2-1.

“I have no doubt that we are going to beat Uruguay on Saturday,” said Isaac after the Eaglets’ final training session at the University of Sharjah on Friday.

“I think we have to pay back Uruguay for beating the Flying Eagles at the last Under-20 World Cup,” he added,

Isaac said his optimism was borne out of the fact that his teammates were fired up to go all the way.

However, Top USA-based Mexican referee, Jair Marrufo would handle the Match Number 47 between Uruguay and Nigeria at the FIFA U-17.
