Nigeria, Switzerland to meet in Under-17 World Cup final
November 13, 2009

Hosts Nigeria will take on Switzerland in the Under-17 World Cup final on Sunday at the Abuja National Stadium after both teams won their respective semi-finals on Thursday.
Defending champions Nigeria defeated Spain 3-1 while Switzerland trounced Colombia 4-0.
Spain were seeking revenge against Nigeria, who stopped them on penalties in the final of the tournament two years ago in Seoul to win their third Under-17 world championship.
But Stanley Okoro put Nigeria in front after half an hour when he dashed behind the Spanish defence before stroking home from close range.
Striker Sani Emmanuel came off the bench to net a brace for Nigeria and bring his goals tally to five so far at this tournament. Spain pulled a consolation goal back through big striker Borja on 83 minutes.
Switzerland stopped 10-man Colombia with Nassem Ben Khalifa and Haris Seferovic on target in the first half before Bruno Martignoni and Ricardo Rodriguez also scored after the interval.

Valero set for Mallorca loan move
August 21, 2009

Championship side West Bromwich Albion’s midfielder Borja Valero has expressed his excitement as he prepares to complete a move back to Spain with his old club Real Mallorca.
Valero joined the Baggies in a £4.7million deal last summer but was unable to keep them in the Premier League.
Mallorca recently confirmed they were keen to bring the 24-year-old back to the club for a second spell and a move now appears to be imminent, with reports in Spain suggesting the two clubs have agreed on a season-long loan deal.
It is also claimed that Mallorca would then have the option to sign Valero on a permanent basis for €4million (£3.5m).
Valero admits he would rather seal a switch to Mallorca than stay in the Championship.
“For me this is big news because to play in La Liga is better than playing in the second tier in England,” he said in the Spanish press.
