A strong-willed attitude which could help power Nigeria to a sixth U17 World Cup title was exemplified by Peter Olawale after the dramatic 4-2 win over Hungary on Saturday.
The Europeans led through Gyorgy Komaromi’s third-minute strike at Goiania's Estadio Olimpico, before taking the lead again through Samuel Major eight minutes after Samson Tijani’s equaliser, to lead 2-1 at half-time.
A dramatic twist in the second-half then saw Manu Garba’s boys secure maximum points with goals from Usman Ibrahim and Oluwatimilehin Adeniyi.
It could prove a crucial victory for Nigeria, who lead Group B on goal difference, as a crunch meeting with Ecuador beckons on Tuesday.
