The U20 team of Nigeria played their final test game ahead of the start of the U20 World Cup and it ended as an entertaining six goals thriller, OGN reports.

Colombia took the lead through an own goal frol Sweden based defender Abel Ogwuche but Jude Sunday restored parity for Nigeria almost immediately with a sublime strike from outside the box. Few minutes before the half time break, the Nigerian team fell behind again.

A foul in the box of Nigeria resulted in a penalty for the South American side and it was duly dispatched beyond the reach of Chijioke Anigboso leaving Nigeria trailing 1-2 as both teams head into the break.

Upon the restart, the Nigerian side fell further behind when Colombia extended scores to 3-1. Mohammed Beji reduced the deficit ten minutes later with a well worked goal. Emmanuel Umeh blasted wide a good chance to draw Nigeria level minutes later.

He made atonement for his error by scoring the third goal which completed the comeback for the Ladan Bosso tutored lads and set them on a high ahead of their opening game of tournament against Dominican Republic on Sunday.
