The Nigerian Flying Eagles are turning their focus to the upcoming match against Colombia at the 2025 FIFA U‑20 World Cup after a 3‑2 victory over Saudi Arabia. Coached by Aliyu Zubairu, the team secured the win in their second group game, with captain Daniel Bameyi converting a crucial stoppage‑time penalty. The result leaves the Flying Eagles third in Group C, holding three points from two matches.
To reach the knockout stage, Nigeria must defeat Colombia in their final group fixture. Midfielder Daniel Daga, who plays for Molde in Norway, stressed the squad’s determination, saying, “The next game is to play Colombia in the last group game, we are hoping to get a victory again so we can go to the next stage.” As seven‑time African champions, the Flying Eagles understand the significance of a win, which would boost their chances of advancing.
With the tournament progressing, the Nigerian side remains committed to giving their all. A victory over Colombia would not only secure a place in the knockout round but also showcase the team’s capabilities on the international stage. As they prepare for this pivotal match, the Flying Eagles aim to build on their recent success and demonstrate their skill against a tough South American opponent.
