Flying Eagles of Nigeria flourished beautifully well after diming the Black Satelites of Ghana 4-2 in Group B opening game of the WAFU B U20 game on Monday, reports www.totorinews.com.
The defending champions were very dominant in the first half where the team scored three goals as early as the 6th minute from Olayemi Ayinla, followed by Oraro Lucky’s goal in the 30th and Muiz Adeleke, former Golden Eaglets striker, registering his goal in the 40th min.
Black Satelites pulled one back as both teams went into the break, with Nigeria on 3- 1 advantage.
Second half was a bit scary for the Flying Eagles as their opponents piled more pressure looking to reduce the scoreline, which eventually happened and the game became 3-2.
It became a very dicey affair, with an end to end attacking football from both teams, but it was Flying Eagles that won the bragging rights when Adeleke converted from the penalty spot in the 90th minute.
