Nigeria’s Flying Eagles secure a semi-final place at the WAFU B U-20 Championship after defeating Togo’s Sparrow Hawks 3-0 in a Group B match in Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire, on Thursday. All reports agree the teams contest the game at Barry Konan Stadium and that Togo are eliminated from the tournament as a result of Nigeria’s victory, with Togo having previously lost to Burkina Faso 3-1. The match follows a similar pattern across sources: the first half ends goalless, with Togo limiting Nigeria’s chances. Nigeria then breaks the deadlock shortly after the restart, and adds two more goals to complete the comfortable 3-0 win. One outlet notes that the match sees both sides struggle to create clear scoring opportunities early on, while another highlights the timing of Nigeria’s first goal in the second half, credited to Muiz Adeleke. With the win, Nigeria’s defending champions move on to the semi-finals.
