Nigeria’s Flying Eagles triumphed over Uganda with a 1-0 victory in Ismailia, Egypt, securing their spot at the 23rd FIFA U20 World Cup finals in Indonesia slated for May/June. The win also guarantees the team’s place in the semi-finals of the 17th U20 Africa Cup of Nations, with all four finalists earning representation for the continent at the global stage. However, the team still needs to work on their cutting edge to perform well at the world stage. Ibrahim Muhammad scored the only goal of the match, and goalkeeper Chijioke Aniagboso gave a remarkable performance to sustain Nigeria’s lead. The Flying Eagles will face the winner of the Congo and Tunisia match in the semi-finals on Monday.
