The Flying Eagles were far from their best against the Europeans, but secured the point they needed to progress to the U20 World Cup knockout stages
Nigeria booked their spot in the last 16 of the U20 World Cup courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Ukraine in Bielsko Biala on Thursday.
USA’s win over Qatar in the night’s other Group D game means that Paul Aigbogun’s side finished third in the group and will take on either Senegal or Italy on Monday.
The Flying Eagles had beaten Qatar and bowed to the United States to enter their final Group D match, against already-qualified Ukraine, needing only a point to reach the knockout phase.
