….. Ladan Bosso’s side defeated Uganda to guarantee they reach the latter part of the tournament. The Nigerian fans in the stands were vocal and the boisterous atmosphere was essential in how good the team was on Thursday at the Suez Canal Authority Stadium
in Alexandria, Egypt.
Nigeria’s Flying Eagles rocketed above Uganda’s Hippos, clinching a hard-fought 1-0 victory in their latest match at the U-20 AFCON.
The Ugandans lived up to their rating as a difficult team to defeat, but Ibrahim Juma’s own goal was all Nigeria needed to surpass the East Africans and move to the last four of the competition.
The victory secured Flying Eagles’ place in the CAF U-20 AFCON semifinals and earned them a coveted spot in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Indonesia later this year.
The triumph allowed the Flying Eagles to express their skill, determination, and coordination as they thrashed their opponents.
The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was used in the quarterfinals of the competition but there was no major call by the system.
