Saviour Godwin got the Eagles off to a flying start but the German
level things up after some poor defending from the Nigerians.
Chidera Ezeh restored Nigeria's lead but the Germans once again
restored parity as both teams head into the half time break level at
2-2.
The second half got off to a slow start but the introduction of Nigeria
Under-20 top striker Taiwo Awoniyi changed the complexion of the game.
He was introduced with 35 minutes left to play and the gangling forward
proved his rating as one of Nigeria hottest teen prospect by firing a
hat-trick to secure a 5-2 win for Nigeria.
Despite the heavy scoreline, Coach Manu Garba was unhappy that his boys
let in two goals and made errors that he feel might hurt the team at
the tournament proper.
"We deserve to win base on our performance but there is still room for
improvement going forward we got it right but we made some mistake in
defending," he told SL10.ng.
"Those errors might prove costly in the World cup so hopeful we will
get it right before our first game but overall am pleased with the
performances of the boys."
