Nigeria
U-17 team, the Golden Eaglets, on Sunday beat Guinea 4-0 on in Conakry
to qualify for the next round of the African Junior Championship on a
7-0 aggregate.
The Eaglets won the first leg qualifier 3-0 in Calabar two weeks ago
and with Sunday’s result, they have set up a final qualifier with the
winners of the match between Mali and Mauritania in November.
The Eaglets led 2-0 with goals from Alhassan Ibrahim and Isaac Success in Sunday match.
Success scored again in the second half to complete his brace while Musa Yahaya completed the rout with a fourth goal.
Nigeria have won the U-17 World Cup thrice in 1985, 1993 and 2007,
but the current team is proving to be another strong side as they have
not drawn or lost on the road and at home any of their two qualifiers
against Niger and Guinea. Scoring 17 goals and conceding a goal in the
process. Morocco will host the African Junior Championship in April next
year.
