Nigeria's Under-17 team, the Golden Eaglets, defeated Qatari club Luqiyya FC 4-1 in a warm-up match ahead of the Under-17 World Cup, with Heartland star Stanley Okoro netting a hat-trick.
Okoro got his three goals in the second half, while the other Nigerian goal was scored in the first half by Olarewaju Kayode.
Mighty Jets striker Terry Envoh was also in fine fettle as he spearheaded the attack, while the other Heartland star in the team, full-back Orji Kalu, started from the bench.
"This was a remarkable improvement from the team I travelled with to Dubai a few months ago. It is really a team to be proud of," top team official, Garba Lawal, told Goal.com
The Eaglets are on a training stint in Qatar prior to the FIFA Under-17 World Cup, which they will host starting on October 24.
Nigeria, who are also the defending champions, are drawn against Germany, Argentina and Honduras in the first round of the tournament.
The team are expected back in Nigeria on October 16.
