U-17 AFCON: Morocco defeats Golden Eaglets

305

At the ongoing U-17 African Championship in Algeria, Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets were defeated by their North African counterparts, Morocco, by a solitary goal.

Despite a dominant performance in the first half, the Golden Eaglets conceded an own goal in the second minute courtesy of Tochukwu Ogboji, leaving the Atlas Cubs as the happier side with the game’s maximum points.

The Moroccans defended well and were undeterred by Nigeria’s sluggish press.

The Golden Eaglets will look to put the loss behind them when they face South Africa in their last group encounter on Saturday.
