Nigeria’s Flying Eagles will take on Senegal in the Round of 16 of the ongoing Under-20 FIFA World Cup in Poland.
Nigeria qualified as one of the best third-placed teams following a 1-1 draw with Ukraine.
Paul Aigbogun’s boys will now face the Young Lions of Teranga, who finished as Group-A winners for a chance to battle for a place in the quarter-finals.
The encounter will hold on Monday, with the winner facing either Japan or South Korea in the last eight. Senegal was runners-up at the 2019 Africa Under-20 Cup of Nations, where they bowed to champions Mali on penalties.
They are unbeaten in Poland so far, winning two games and getting a draw without conceding any goal.
