The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria have book their place in the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup on-going in the United Arab Emirates after seeing off Sweden in a 3 unreplied goals thriller.
The Eaglets however set up a crunchy tie with Mexico who comfortably defeated Argentina with the same goal margin.
It could be recalled that Nigeria earlier thumped The Mexicans 6-1 in their opening match of the tournament. Meanwhile the world saw a resurgent Mexican side that later adjusted, beating one of the pre-tournament favorites Brazil and then making it to the final.
