Nigeria vs Netherlands ended 3-1 in favour of the Dutch U17 national side as the Europeans progressed into the quarter finals of the competition.
Sontje Hansen was a hand-full for the Golden Eaglets as he scored all three goals to help his side qualify into the next stage.
As usual, the Nigerian side went behind after just four minutes as the Dutch side were involved in a lovely build up before Hansen made a lovely turn in the box to score his team’s first goal.
Olakunle Olusegun responded in the 12th minute with a simple finish to draw the game level at 1-1.
But Hansen completed his brace in the 15th minute as the Nigerian defence were caught napping to put his side back into lead by 2-1.
Nigeria went all out in search for an equalizer in the second half but could not make their attacking threat against the Netherlands count.
And with ten minutes left on the clock, Ferdinard Ikenna conceded a penalty as Hansen stepped up to convert resulting spot-kick to make it 3-1.
