nigeria-england

Nigeria beat England to advance at Under-20 World Cup 2011 in Colombia, Nigeria is the only African Representative in the final 8 stage at the FIFA U20 World Cup.

A lone goal goal by Edafe Egbedi, seven minutes in the second half proved enough to propel Nigeria into the quarter-finals at the expense of England.

England slumped out of the Under 20 World Cup without scoring a goal after a hard-fought defeat by African champions Nigeria.
Missing 36 players who were refused permission to fly to South America by Premier League clubs, England were always going to have their work cut out against a side that came into this last-16 stage with maximum points and a goal-difference of 10.
