Head coach of Brazil’s U-17 side, Carlos Amadeu, has said he is not happy with how his boys were dumped out of the FIFA U-17 World Cup by Nigeria.
The Golden Eaglets recorded a resounding 3-0 win over Brazil in their quarter-final encounter on Sunday night.
Emmanuel Amuneke’s boys withstood early pressure from their South American counterparts, before effectively putting the game to bed with three goals in five minutes before the break.
Victor Osimhen headed in the first, Michael Dogo Kingsley volleyed in the second, while Udochukwu Anumudu’s powerful shot evaded the Brazilian keeper.
“We knew it was important for us to make the most of our opportunities, especially if we dominated the game at some point, but we didn’t,” Amadeu said.
“Their goals were scored in only five minutes because of specific chances, not because we were not balanced.
“We would like to have put Nigeria behind on the scoreboard, but we failed to score. For these kids, everything that has happened here is part of their learning process.”
