U-23 AFCON: Nigeria Bounce Back To Beat Zambia With a quarter of an hour gone, it appeared to be going away for the defending champions as they sat pointlessly and at the bottom of Group B.

The Nigerian team celebrate one of their goals against Zambia in Cairo on November 12, 2019.

Goals from three former U-17 World Cup winners, however, shot Nigeria to second in the group and with a good chance of toppling leaders South Africa when both teams clash at the same Al-Salam Stadium on Friday evening. Germany-based forward Taiwo Awoniyi, who also won the U-17 World Cup in 2013 and who arrived in Egypt only on Sunday night, made it three on the stroke of 90 minutes to make Nigerians breathe easier.
