Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets kept their winning run alive on Friday with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Bandex Football Academy of Kebbi State in a test match as preparations intensify for the WAFU B U-17 Championship in Abeokuta this September, reports Nigeriasoccernet.com.
The five-time world champions trailed 2-1 at halftime but rallied in the second half with improved composure and attacking urgency to seal the comeback win.
It was the team’s third consecutive triumph in their build-up series, following a 4-0 rout of Explora FC and a 1-0 win over GASA of Ilorin on Wednesday. Head coach Manu Garba’s side will be aiming to carry this momentum into the regional tournament, where securing the title will guarantee a spot at next year’s Africa U-17 Cup of Nations.
