By Precious Oham 

Nigeria’s U20 boys, Flying Eagles, suffered a 0-1 loss to Burkina Faso in their first game at this year’s WAFU B U20 Championship in Togo, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Despite playing out a goalless affair in the first half, the Flying Eagles succumbed to their opponents in the second half by conceding in the 66th minute. 

With the result, Burkina Faso are leading the three-team Group B as Cote D'Ivoire are drawn bye in the first round of matches. 

The Flying Eagles will be expected to bounce back against Ivory Coast in their next game in their quest to defend the title they won in Niger Republic two years ago.
