| Flying Eagles of Nigeria |
The FIFA under 20 world youth championship in Turkey has reached its second round of matches in the group phase. Cuba will take on Nigeria on Monday evening. The North Americans surrendered a 1-0 lead against South Korea. The Spanish speaking country are making their debut at the tournament while Nigeria have been to this tournament on nine occasions.
The flying eagles lost to Portugal by 3-2 on Friday. The 2005 silver medalists came from 2-0 down to tie the match at 2-2 after 67 minutes, but Bruma scored the winning goal for Portugal two minutes later.
Nigeria will have to beat the Cubans if they intend to progress beyond the group stage of Turkey 2013. Players like Abdul-Jeleel Ajagun and Kayode Olanrewaju are some of the players to watch out for.
Coach John Ibuh has promised Nigerians that the team will go out for an outright victory.
Kick off time: 15:00 GMT
Date: 24th June,2013.
