Nigeria’s Golden Eagles qualified for the quarterfinal of the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup after they dumped Australia 6-0 with Victor Osimhen grabbing a hat-trick early Thursday in Vena Del Mar, Chile.

The defending champions will now on Sunday battle Brazil for a place in the last four after the South Americans pipped New Zealand 1-0 in their own Round of 16 tie.
Nigeria beat the Brazilians 2-1 in a recent invitational tournament in South Korea.
Osimhen showed class as Nigeria bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Croatia in their final group game to send warning signals they will not surrender their crown without a big fight.
The big centre-forward is the leading scorer at Chile 2015 with seven goals after his goals in the 22^nd, 73^rd and 79th minutes after Australia started out very brightly.
Skipper Kelechi Nwakali tucked away a penalty in the 25^th minute to make it 2-0 for Nigeria after Funsho Bamboye was brought down inside the box.
The Eaglets other goals were by substitute Eddiong Essien from a diving header after 86 minutes and Samuel Chukwueze two minutes from time when he fired home from a tight angle after he beat the goalkeeper to the ball.
Australia were a beaten side even by half time after two goals in quick succession by Nigeria. They saw a lot of the ball but they lacked the cutting edge going forward to finally go down to their sixth straight loss to Nigeria at this level.
