Nigeria and Cameroon will
play the final of the African
Youth Championship billed
for Sunday. This clash of
neighbors was set up after
Nigeria beat Mali 2-0, while
Cameroon edged out Egypt
after a shoot-out.
The match will afford the
Flying Eagles to avenge the
1-0 loss they suffered to
Cameroon in their second
group B game. Coach John
Obuh had insisted that
Cameroon were lucky to
have run away with that slim
victory because of the poor
state of the pitch.
Uche Nwafor headed home
Nigeria ’s first goal in the 22
minute of play, while Stanley
Okoro came from the bench
to put the final nail on Mali
with a late penalty.
The second match between
Egypt and Cameroon ended
on a controversial note. Both
sides failed to find the net in
120 minutes.
They had to settle scores
from the spot. Egypt missed
two of their kicks, while
Cameroon also missed twice
but on each occasion they
had a retake as the Egyptian
keeper was judged to have
moved off the lines by the
assistant referee.
The last call did not go down
well with Egyptians who
protested but later agreed to
allow the game continue.
Cameroon keeper who also
moved over the line in the
first kick was never faulted.
A win over Cameroon will
see Nigeria to their sixth title.
Mali and Egypt will play the
losers final.
