Flying Eagles soar into WAFU B U-20 semi-finals with 4-1 Benin thrashing

The Flying Eagles of Nigeria produced a commanding second-half display to defeat the Young Cheetahs of Benin Republic 4-1 in their second Group B fixture at the ongoing WAFU B U-20 Boys Cup in Ghana.

Following a keenly contested first half that ended 1-1, the Coach Aliyu Zubairu-led squad returned with renewed vigour, netting three unanswered goals to claim a decisive victory and book a place in the semi-finals.

Muhammed Abdullahi, Ezekiel Kpangu, Imrana Muhammed, and Abduljeleel Kamaldeen were all on target for Nigeria, marking the team’s first win in the competition after a 1-1 draw against Ghana in their opening match.

With four points from two games, Nigeria currently lead Group B and await their semi-final opponents as they continue their pursuit of regional glory.

Now well-positioned for a title challenge, Nigeria reaffirms its reputation as a dominant force in the WAFU B sub-region of West Africa.
