BREAKING: Nigeria beat Burkina Faso 2-1 to win WAFU B U-17 Championship - Punch Newspapers

Two minutes into the second half, Abdullahi got his second and Nigeria’s second, taking the Golden Eaglets to a 2-1 lead. However, 12 minutes later, he should have made it a hat-trick and Nigeria’s third but he lost the opportunity.

That loss could once more have proved costly, as the Stallions broke forward, only to see Nigeria goalkeeper Richard Odoh come up with a magnificent save. In the 67th minute, Ebube Okeke rocked the crossbar from 25 yards, but there were to be no more goals and Nigeria collected a second regional diadem at youth level five weeks after the U20 boys defeated neighbours Benin Republic in the final to win the WAFU B competition in Niger Republic.

Nigeria goalkeeper Richard Odoh was selected the Man-of-the-Match. His compatriot Emmanuel Michael won the prize in all three previous matches against Ghana, Togo and Cote d’Ivoire.All rights reserved.

I don't understand how the match could have been played already. Saturday is just dawning, so what time was the match played? I want to believe that the match was played on Friday 24/6/2022.

Congratulations

Congratulations lads

Congratulations.

Congratulations Boys. Thank you.
