Nigeria see off Australia
Nigeria left it late as they came from behind to beat Australia 2-1 in their U-17 Fifa World Championship match in Turku, Finland, on Saturday.

Second half goals from playmaker John Mikel and forward Ezekiel Bala were enough to seal victory after an early strike from Dez Giraldi had given the Australians the lead.

The Golden Eaglets now have four points going into their third and final group match against favourites Argentina.

In Sunday's matches Cameroon play Yemen in Tampere while Sierra Leone face the United States and their wonderkid Freddy Adu.
