AMUNEKE SALUTES BUHARI, NIGERIANS AFTER BEATING BRAZIL

Golden Eaglets' Head coach Emmanuel Amuneke has yet again thanked Nigerians with a special kudos to President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) after his
wards decimated the A Selecao of Brazil 3-0 in Sunday's quarter-final match at FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015 in Vina del Mar.


Among the goals for the four-time champions within a spate of five minutes in the first half, were Victor Osimhen who took his tally to eight goals in five matches; as well as Kingsley Michael and Udochukwu Anumudu .

"Today is one of my happiest days because there were so many who doubted our abilities since we started this journey," Amuneke who will be 45 on December 25, told thenff.com “But I’m grateful to God for making this (victory) possible for us and qualified for the semi finals against all odds.”

“ Personally, I give kudos to President Buhari for introducing some changes in our country ; and If all of us can embrace those changes, we can confidently say that everybody irrespective of where you come
from can be given an equal opportunity to play for the county.”


Meanwhile, the Golden Eaglets would depart Vina del Mar for Concepcion on Monday to await the winner of the encounter between Ecuador and Mexico for Thursday’s semi –final match.
