UPDATE: Golden Eaglets Secure 2023 U-17 AFCON Ticket After Comeback Win Vs Côte d’Ivoire

June 21, 2022 5:55 pm

The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria have qualified for next year’s U-17 Africa Cup of Nations in Algeria, after defeating Côte d’Ivoire 3-1 in the first semi-final of the WAFU B tournament in Ghana.

Two well taken free-kicks from Emmanuel Michael in the first half and a second half header off Abdullahi Idris, earned coach Nduka Ugbade and his side their third consecutive win at the regional tournament.

Michael has now netted three free-kicks at the ongoing tournament.

The Eaglets will now face either Ghana or Burkina Faso in the final billed for Friday, 24 June.

The Eaglets got off to a poor start as Côte d’Ivoire opened scoring in the second minute from the penalty spot through Yan Diomandi.

Following a clumsy tackle on Diomandi inside the box, the referee pointed to the spot with the scorer sending the Eaglets keeper the wrong way.

In the 31st minute the Eaglets equalized thanks to a free-kick from Michael, whose effort close to the corner flag slipped past the Ivorian keeper.

Michael then made it 2-1 on 43 minutes from another free-kick this time from a central position, which beat the Ivorian wall before nestling into the back of the net.

Idris then made it 3-1 in the 61st minute as he rose highest to head in a swung in free-kick with the keeper stranded.

With 13 minutes left the Eaglets were awarded another free-kick but this time Michael’s attempt went narrowly wide.

In the 86th minute a beautiful team play from the Eaglets set up Precious Williams with a clear chance, but his effort went inches off target.

Great guys

My fellow Nigerians, please be very aware of the cynical information war that has been wrought upon us by the corrupt establishment that just refuses to release Nigeria out of their tight grasp.

Look well and observe how some nairaland posts and comments are similar in nature. Know that the vast majority of your countrymen also hate the existing political establishment but there are a few who have sold their consciences for a morsel of bread.

The BMC (Buhari Media Crew) used to be a group of people told to open multiple accounts across all social media platforms and use them to amplify a political message, or attack supporters of opponents or use Various forms of mental manipulations to dim the morale of the revolutionary tsunami sweeping across the nation. Don't let yourself be fooled, fight back. Don't let these nasty traitors of their country weaken your morale or resolve to enact change.

Know that millions of your fellow countrymen got your back!

Obi we want and Obi we will get. Keep that fire burning in your hearts. Never let that flame die

Fantastic match, hopefully we qualify for the main event.

Rubbish

If they meet Sweden or America women team,they go dey Bleep up....

Don't mention me if you are a supporter of the aspirant that poo on himself
