The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria have kicked off their 2015 world cup campaign on a winning start at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos Santiago De Chile.

The defending champions beat the United States U17 team 2-0 in their group A opened in Chile on Saturday night.

Agor's 50th minute goal and Osimhe's 61st minute goals gave the defending champions an edge over their counterparts and also put them at the top of the table pending the game between host Chile and Croatia on Sunday.

Manu Garba led the 2013 set of the Eaglets to victory in the UAE to bring Nigeria's tally to four since the kick off of the championship in 1985.

Earlier in the day, the home-based Eagles also spanked their counter parts from Burkina Faso 2-0, in CHAN championship qualifiers in Port Harcourt.
