Italy-Nigeria: analysis of the match
Against the Dominican Republic (2-1) which was playing the first game in its history in a FIFA tournament, it was not as simple as it might seem at first glance for Nigeria. After being trailed in the 23rd minute of play (goal by Edison Escone), the Flying Eagles finally managed to come to the mark (3rd) thanks to a goal from De Pena then to defeat their opponent (70th) by through Samson Lawal. With three points in the bag, the essential is acquired for the 3rd of the last AFCON U20 who now approaches more calmly the meetings against Italy and the Brazil.
Facing the Transalpins, they will have a lot to do to pocket the victory. Because the Italians, defeated against Brazil for their entry into the running (3-2), will give everything under penalty of risking elimination. A draw would not necessarily be a bad operation for Ladan Bosso’s men, who would then have four points, enough to ensure they see the eighth and therefore get closer to their elder tournament finalists in 1989 and 2005 (Obi Mikel generation , Taye Taiwo).
