Mikel and his boys trash Japan 5-4 in their opening game as the life Etebo joined the to Samson Siasia’s men only arrived in Manaus, Brazil seven hours before
their opening Group B fixture, because of travel issues, but put up an
impressive performance to overcome the Asian champions.

Oghenekaro Etebo scored four goals for Nigeria, while AS Roma striker, Sadiq Umar, also got on the scoresheet.
The first half ended 3-2 in favour of the Africans, as they began to stamp their authority on the match.
In the second half, Etebo made it 4-2 from the penalty spot, after
the outstanding Umar was brought down in the box. And in the 66th
minute, the Portugal-based midfielder grabbed his fourth, capitalizing
on a poor clearance.
Japan pulled two back through new Arsenal boy, Takuma Asano and Musashi Suzuki.
