Golden Eaglets hat-trick hero, Ibrahim Said
Ibrahim Said scored the first hat-trick of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019 to power Nigeria past Ecuador 3-2 on Tuesday night at the Estadio Olimpico in Goiania.
The Golden Eaglets mounted a comeback for a second straight match and are now qualified for the Round of 16, sitting on six points.
Said starred for Nigeria from start to finish. First, he positioned himself in the right place to capitalise on an errant pass from Ecuador goalkeeper Joan Lopez in the fifth minute.
