Flying Eagles led by skipper Musa Mohammed have vowed that they will get their U-20 World Cup campaign back on track with a win in tomorrow’s Group E clash against North Korea after a loss to Brazil.

The African champions fell 4-2 to five-time champions Brazil in their opening group game on Monday.

“We wish to apologise to Nigerians that we lost to Brazil, but we will make it up against North Korea. We will win on Thursday (tomorrow),” said skipper Mohammed.

“We have spoken to ourselves and you will see the result in our next game.”

Manchester City starlet Kelechi Iheanacho said he expects a tougher resistance from the Koreans after they also lost their opening game 5-1 to Hungary.

“It won’t be easy against Korea especially after they lost so woefully to Hungary, but we also know we need to win, no matter the margin,” Iheanacho said.

“Good enough the loss to Brazil does not mean the end of our campaign in New Zealand.”

Goalkeeper Joshua Enaholo said he will not dwell on his mistakes against Brazil as his focus is now on tomorrow’s game against North Korea.

“Yesterday (Monday) is in the past. We are now all looking ahead to the next game on Thursday,” said the goalkeeper, who was voted the best goalkeeper at the African Youth Championship in Senegal in March.
