The number-9-wearing teenager celebrates with teammates here after inflicting untold “horror” on the Aussies.

The Golden Eaglets on Nigeria are in the quarter final of the FIFA Under-17 Wolrd Cup going on in Chile.

The reigning world champions made it to the last eight after teaching their mates from Australia how to hit the back of the net six times.

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen ran goal crazy with a hat trick againt the Aussies who were no way near the Eaglets who ran away with a one-sided 6-0 victory in Vina Del Mar.

The tale of the first half was compacted into a three-minute period as Nigeria scored twice sandwiched either side of a gilt-edged opening for Australia, FIFA.com reports.

It was 2-0 at the interval, and the game was still a contest until the final 17 minutes before Nigeria ran riot against an Australian side looking flat after surviving the “group of death.”

The Aussies started in pro-active fashion, but it was Funsho Ibrahim Bamgboye who hit the post with a rasping shot from the edge of the penalty area as Nigeria’s first effort narrowly failed to break the deadlock.

That moment came on 22 minutes as Osimhen showed just why he is the tournament’s leading goalscorer by bursting forward with pace and power on the left, before turning his defender and sliding the ball impressively inside the far post.

The Nigerian attacker has scored seven goals from the seven shots he has taken so far in the tournament. Talk about 100% shooting accuracy. He’s leads the scorers chart.

Australia could have drawn level immediately with Cameron Joice seeing his shot saved, while Lucas Derrick pushed the follow-up wide as a golden opportunity was spurned.

Nigeria will face Brazil who advanced after beating New Zealand 1-0.

Almost immediately Nigeria were two in front as Funsho Bambgboye went to ground in the penalty area, and Kelechi Nwakali coolly slotted home the resultant penalty.

The two goals seemed to inspire the Nigerians who took a greater hold as the half wore on creating several half-openings around the Aussie goal.

Nigeria continued their powerful performance after the break, and although Australia dominated possession for periods, it was the Africans who ended the contest with a third.

Osimhen scored twice in the space of six minutes, the second with another laser-perfect drive into the top corner.

The deflated Aussies conceded to more goals in the dying minutes as firstly substitute Edidiong Michael Essien, and then Samuel Chukwueze, inflicted further pain as Nigeria stormed into the last-eight in confident fashion.

Nigerian will now meet Brazil in the last eight.
