U-20 WC: Nigeria Vs Saudi Arabia (2 - 0 FULL TIME) by gbengress1: 7:16am On Aug 06, 2011 |
With both sides already assured of qualifying from Group D of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Colombia 2011, Saturday’s clash between Saudi Arabia and Nigeria in the city of Pereira will decide which of these teams will top the section, after both recorded impressive victories over Croatia and Guatemala. The match Saudi Arabia-Nigeria, 6 August, 20.00 (local time), Pereira The stakes As if to prove their 5-0 demolition of Guatemala was no accident, Nigeria crashed another five past a hapless Croatia on Wednesday, albeit with Flying Eagles goalkeeper Dami Paul being beaten twice along the way. The African side go into their contest with Saudi Arabia needing a draw to maintain first place in Group D, which would see them play their Round of 16 tie in Armenia. For his part, Saudi Arabia coach Khalid Al Koroni is also keen to go back to Armenia, the scene of his side’s opening two triumphs. “The team likes Armenia,” he said. “We’re used to it!” To get there, though, the youngsters from the Gulf Kingdom will need to do better than during their last meeting with Nigeria – a draw in an international friendly on 13 March last year. In what is sure to be a thrilling encounter, all eyes will be on Saudi goalkeeper Abdullah Al Sdairi and his stalwart back line. Their defence is yet to concede a goal in the group stage but now come up against a rampant Nigeria attack, spearheaded by the gifted Ahmed Musa with able support from Olarenwaju Kayode and Uche Nwofor. The stat 1 – The number of times the two sides have met at the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The previous meeting came at the 1989 edition in Saudi Arabia, when the Nigerians won 2-1 en route to a runners-up spot. The words Khalid Al Koroni, Saudi Arabia coach: “We’re going to try to win this match and the group, although it’s not going to be easy as Nigeria are a strong side. We faced them in a friendly not long ago and they were well-organised and tough to beat.” Ahmed Musa, Nigeria forward: “We have to win against Saudi to merit top spot in Group D and that’s what we’re focused on at the moment. Morale is high in the squad and I believe things will go well.” |

I watched the team played Croatia on early hours of Thursday and my eyes were heavy with sleep that I could not go to work that day. I hope after this match I will be able to keep myself awake in church. |

Re: U-20 WC: Nigeria Vs Saudi Arabia (2 - 0 FULL TIME) by honeric01(m): 1:31pm On Aug 06, 2011 |
Jarus: Hope you know the English team are the tallest in this tournament and we have no answers to defending set-pieces? |
Re: U-20 WC: Nigeria Vs Saudi Arabia (2 - 0 FULL TIME) by justwise(m): 1:37pm On Aug 06, 2011 |
honeric01: England hasn't won a single match so far even with their height. |
Re: U-20 WC: Nigeria Vs Saudi Arabia (2 - 0 FULL TIME) by femi4: 1:49pm On Aug 06, 2011 |
justwise:perhaps their strikers have been meeting tall defenders and that height might come has an advantage against our defense (whether short or tall, they just lack sense of urgency when it comes to defending set pieces) |
Re: U-20 WC: Nigeria Vs Saudi Arabia (2 - 0 FULL TIME) by semid4lyfe(m): 1:51pm On Aug 06, 2011 |
