Nigeria’s U-17 national team is through to the semi-final stage of the ongoing WAFU B U-17 Championship following their 3-1 victory over Togo on Tuesday.
Having started with the 4-2 hammering of hosts Ghana last weekend, the Golden Eaglets produced another sterling display on Tuesday in the regional tournament.
First-half goals from Kevwe Iyede in the 13th minute and another from Precious Williams in the 21st minute helped the Eaglets race into a two-goal lead by halftime.
Though Komi Ahouankpo pulled one back for Togo in the 75th minute, Coach Nduka Ugbade’s boys ensured they finished the tie with a two-goal margin as Light Eke made it 3-1 in the 85th minute.
With Nigeria already picking one of the semi-final slots from Group A, it will be a winner-takes-all in the final group game between hosts Ghana and Togo.
