Nigeria started the game strongly with Imoh Ezekiel showing exceptional skills down the right wing.
The first goal came when Aminu Umar beat a defender for pace on the left and sent a low cross into the box which John Mikel Obi slotted home in a spectacular fashion.
The Dream Team returned from the tunnel strongly and their persistence eventually paid off; First Stanley Amuzie tried a shot, but the goalkeeper pulled a brilliant save for a corner kick to Nigeria.
Mikel Obi delivered a ‘delicious’ ball in and Aminu Umar rose highest to head past the Danish goalkeeper.
Nigeria should have added a third late in the game as Usman Muhammed laid a pass through to substitute Junior Ajayi who saw his attempt go over.
Nigeria will now face Germany in the semi-finals.
