AUSTRALIA have been knocked out of the FIFA under-17 World Cup in Chile, belted 6-0 by defending champions Nigeria in their round of 16 clash.
It was a bitterly disappointing result for the Joeys, who had chances early on but seemed to lose their nerve during a defining stretch midway through the first half and never recovered.
In the space of three minutes, Nigeria took the lead and then doubled it from the penalty spot – but only after the Joeys wasted a golden chance to level the scores in between.
The match turned into a procession after the break as a clearly-fatigued Australia unravelled, conceding a further four goals as Nigeria waltzed into the tournament’s final eight.
Nigeria, four-time World Cup champions at this age level, took the lead 22 minutes in through Victor Osimhen, who finished the match with three goals to put one hand on the tournament’s golden boot award.
