Golden Eaglets held in the final test game before the U17 AFCon qualifiers

The Golden Eaglets were arrested today in a goalless tie of Mopopster Academy based in a final test game before the Wafu B U17 AFCon classification tournament in Cote d’IVorire.

It was an sandy exhibition of Mopster, which fell 1-0 in a previous clash with the national U17.

He tried as the Eaglets directed by coach Manu Garba did, they could not break the very determined defense of their opponents in the fairly irregular launch of the Mko Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.

They will have to intensify their game to compete with the best teams in the subregion after they could not qualify for the U17 AFCon two years ago in Ghana.

The Golden Eaglets will go to Abidjan this week for the U17 AFCon qualifiers.

They are against Benin and Burkina Faso in the first round with only the finalists to advance to the U17 AFCON.
