Eaglets set to break Uruguay hoodoo

Golden Eaglets will on Saturday aim to halt
Nigeria’s losing run against Uruguay this year.
In June, Uruguay full international team beat
the Super Eagles 2-1 at the FIFA
Confederations Cup in Brazil and the South
Americans recorded the same win at the FIFA
U-20 World Cup in Turkey in a round of 16
clash.
Besides gunning for the scalp of Uruguay, the
Nigeria youngsters also seek a place in the last
four of the U-17 World Cup as they stay on
course for a fourth world title at this age level,
while the Uruguayans are looking for their first
title.
This is the first time both nations are meeting
at this level.
Uruguay finished second in the last edition of
the competition after losing to Mexico 2-0 in
the final.
MTNFootball.com reports that Uruguay has
met African opponents at the U-17 World Cup
four times, lost two times and won twice.
