Former Super Eagles winger Garba Lawal says that the Flying Eagles have instilled terror in the world by eliminating the 2023 U-20 World Cup hosts, Argentina.
Remember that Nigeria defeated Argentina 2-0 to get to the Round of 16? In the 61st minute, Ladan Bosso’s team’s first goal was scored by Ibrahim Muhammad.
Rilwanu Sarki headed into the goal deep into stoppage time to give Nigeria the decisive victory.
They will now compete against either Korea Republic or Ecuador to go to the tournament’s semifinals. In a conversation with Completesports.com following the team’s triumph, Lawal commented that the Flying Eagles had put themselves in a position where other teams would be wary of playing them.
“Given that many people didn’t think the Flying Eagles had a chance to shock Argentina, this is unquestionably a huge victory for the squad,
“I really adore the way they attacked the contest and scored crucial goals. Congratulations to Ladan Bosso and his team for their accomplishment.
“Now that we’re in the quarterfinals, other teams will be wary of playing the Flying Eagles, and that’s exactly what I want from the team.”
