Nigeria’s U20 national team has played out a thrilling 2-2 draw against Burkina Faso to seal passage to the semifinals of the 2022 WAFU B Championship in the Republic of Niger.
The Ladan Bosso-tutored Eagles defeated Ghana 2-0 in their opening Group B match and knew a win over the young Stallions would see them advance to the tournament’s next phase.
And a win they almost got, thanks to Ibrahim Muhammad’s bizarre 24th -minute goal and Ibrahim Yahaya’s second-half spot-kick. But twice the Burkinabe lads pegged them back as both teams eventually settled for a share of the spoils.
