Nigeria U20 fell to a disappointing 2-1 loss at the hands of Saudi Arabia on Sunday as they intensify preparations for the 2019 Fifa U20 World Cup.
The Flying Eagles were hoping to step up their performance after a fourth place finish at the 2019 Africa U20 Cup of Nations, but a weakened line-up in Austria was beaten by goals from Khalid Al-Ghannam and Hamed Al-Ghamdi.
