Morocco Under -17 team earned all three points to sail into the quarter-finals of the Africa Under 17 Cup of Nations taking place in Algeria.
An own goal by Nigeria’s Tochukwu Ogboji in the second minute of the encounter was all the Moroccans needed to qualify for the quarter-finals, who defeated South Africa 2-0 on the opening day.
The Eaglets won their first game of the tournament after a one-nil win against Zambia, the Uduka Ugbade’s led team will now play South Africa on Saturday, and victory is imperative in order to be assured of qualification to the last eight.
