Flying Eagles duo leads Nigerian clubs
Ogundare and Kparobo will be the most high-profile names to lead Nigerian academy side Beyond Limits against Italian outfit Torino.
The Flying Eagles' prospects have lit up the global youth tournament, dazzling with their pace, flair, playmaking, and lethal finishing.
Ogundare announced his arrival by rocketing home a long-range piledriver and a hattrick alongside teammate, Kparobo, who also netted a hattrick in the group stages.
Now Beyond Limits will look to their talented teens Ogundare and Arierhi to unlock Torino's defense and book a semi-final spot.
Both players were in action in the round of 16 clash against Avellino but were outshone by teammate, Isaac Chukwudi, who stole the show.
Chukwudi netted a brilliant brace to inspire the No Limits to a comfortable 3-1 win to complete another clean sweep for Nigeria at the Viareggio Cup.
Nigerian football seems to have an endless conveyor belt of emerging talent on display at this year's Viareggio Cup.
Three other clubs from the country that booked their place in the last eight are Alex Transfiguration, Mavlon, and Ojodu City.
Nigeria is already guaranteed a spot in the last four after Transfiguration was paired in the quarterfinals against Mavlon, led by Golden Eaglets superstar, Charles Agada.
