Nigeria’s U-20 national team, Flying Eagles, have qualified for the semi-final of the ongoing 2024 WAFU B U-20 championship in Lome, Togo.
This was after the team on Thursday defeated Cote D’Ivoire 2-1 in their last group game.
Goals from Clinton Jephta and Kparobo Arierhi ensured a hard earned victory for the Nigerian side.
Even with the lackluster performance, Nigeria still managed to top the group with a better goal difference, ahead of Cote D’Ivoire and Burkina with same points.
