Three-time champions Nigeria left little to doubt when they opened their FIFA U-17 World Cup 
campaign against twice champions and holders Mexico in Al Ain, winning out by an emphatic 6-1 scoreline.The result piles more unhappiness on the Mexican nation, whose senior team is experiencing a crisis in senior FIFA World Cup qualifying, while Nigeria sit comfy and cozy at the top of Group F.
Nigeria looked nervous early, but the Mexicans were unable to take advantage of their opponents’ trepidation. Striker Ulises Jaimes had a chance to score with his head after only three minutes, but the ball was deflected wide of danger by the scrambling Nigerian defence.
