Flying Eagles of Nigeria will be gunning to get back on track in the ongoing Africa U20 Cup of Nations as they trade tackles with host nation Egypt on Matchday Day 2 this evening at the Cairo International Stadium.
The Nigeria U20 men’s team lost narrowly to the Junior Teranga Lions of Senegal 0-1 in the opening game on Sunday but still stands a chance of qualifying for the quarter-final stage of the competition.
Despite the loss in the opening game, the Flying Eagles are upbeat that they can upset the host nation and put their campaign back on track, as a win will put the team in good stead to qualify for the last eight.
Nigeria and Egypt last met in the semi-final stage of the Africa U20 Cup of Nations with the Egyptians taking the day by two goals to nothing.
