Coach Amuneke delighted with Eaglets 5-1 win over host Chile


Nigeria Golden Eaglets coach Emmanuel Amuneke hailed his team's mentality after a fantastic 5-1 win over Chile in the ongoing U-17 World Cup tournament in Chile. 

Two braces each from Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze, and a goal from the spot by Kelechi Nwakali gave the Eaglets a comfortable win. Read what the Amuneke said after the cut
After the game, Amuneke told FIFA :
"It is true we were effective up front, but we also knew how to block their passing game, forcing them to play uncomfortably in the midfield. My players understood the transition game, that is when to attack, when to defend. We also prepared them mentally, it is not easy to play against the host. Chile has a good team, but today they lost against the best team. I believe they can qualify for the next round."
