Nigeria began their
campaign at the 'Star Sixes' Tournament with a 3-2 win over China on
Thursday night, with former Everton strikers Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Daniel
Amokachi finding the net for the African powerhouse.
On 15 minutes, Aiyegbeni slotted past the goalkeeper after a
loose ball fell kindly to him, then added a second for the Super Eagles Legends
few minutes later after a beautiful low pass from Austin Okocha.
Yakubu would have fancied helping himself to a hat-trick but
he set up Amokachi for Nigeria's third goal.
The Super Eagles Legends almost squandered their three-goal
advantage, as China scored two goals at a late stage in proceedings.
Nigeria face Italy in their next fixture on Friday, before
wrapping up group play against Brazil on July 15.
