The Flying Eagles of Nigeria defeated Croatia by five goals to two at the ongoing FIFA U-20 World Cup in a seven goal thriller on Thursday.

Uche Nwofor claimed two goals, but winger Ahmed Musa shined brightest in a field of shining Flying Eagles lights.

Nigeria needed a convincing win to dislodge Saudi Arabia, who shot to the top of the group with a 6-0 thumping of Guatemala earlier on, and they made a cracking start.

Contrary to the Nigeria squad who were very unlucky with goals in their in pre-tournament friendlies, the Flying Eagles have netted ten in two matches.

The victory will serve as a booster for the squads when they lock horns with Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
