Captain Timothy Ijachi bagged a superb hat-trick as Nigeria’s Future Eagles hammered New Caledonia 7-0 at the FIFA U15 Tournament and Festival in Azerbaijan, sealing their knockout-stage place.
The Mavlon FC Lagos attacking midfielder also created two more goals with assists, pulling the strings from midfield and proving why he wears the armband.
His latest treble takes him to nine goals in six matches, underlining clinical finishing, smart movement and game-changing impact at the highest youth level.
The commanding victory among 109 nations lifts Nigeria’s hopes of a strong showing, with Ijachi leading the charge to keep the country’s flag flying high.
