U20 WAFU Zone B: Ghana Shock Flying Eagles

  U20 WAFU Zone B:  Ghana Shock Flying Eagles By Sampson Adedeji The hope of Nigeria's Flying Eagles securing a place in the semi final of the ongoing West Africa Football Union competition going on in Benin Republic suffered a big blow on Wednesday as they lost 1-0 loss to Black Satelite of Ghana, BSNSports.com.ng reports. The Nigeria side was forced to a 1-1 draw by Junior Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire in the opening group game despite scoring first. The first half against Ghana was keenly contested and Nigeria dominated the possession but failed to convert their chances in front of goal. Nigeria has a goal scored in the first stanza by Wisdom Ubani but was disallowed by the centre referee for offside positioning. The second half resumed with Nigeria still dominating the game but it was Ghana that broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute through a free-kick . All the efforts of Flying Eagles to level the game proved abortive as Ghana defenders stood their ground through out the game. Flying Eagles of Nigeria will now hope Ghana beat Cote d'Ivoire by huge number of goals or more than one goal to have a chance of progressing into the semi final of the competition.
