Nigeria’s national U-17 male team, the Golden Eaglets played a goalless draw with Giant Brillars FC of Enugu, a Nigeria National League side on Tuesday in Abuja

It was a very thrilling game of an end to end attacking football from both sides.

Golden Eaglets could not really find their rhythm in the first half and the visitors, who paraded bigger players were dominant and looked more dangerous to hurt the five- time world champions.

Sadly, there was an apprehension at the beginning of the game when a central defender of Giant Brillars Fc appeared to have fractured his ankle, but it was later discovered that it was a dislocation.

However, on resumption in the second half, the energetic Eaglets took complete control of the game, dictating the pace, while Giant Brillars only resorted to occasional counter attacks which failed to rattle the defence of the Eaglets.

Another friendly game beckons for the Eaglets on Wednesday at the FIFA goal project, MKO stadium, Abuja.
