  U20 WAFU Zone B Tournament: "What We Need To Do To Beat Ghana" - Flying Eagles Coach By Niyi Busari Flying Eagles coach, Ladan Bosso has identified what his boys have to do to defeat Ghana U20 in today's must-win U20 WAFU Zone B group B match, BSNSports.com.ng reports. The seven-time African champions were forced to a 1-1 draw by Junior Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire in the group opener on Sunday. The result means that Nigeria must win today's match against arch-rivals Ghana to stand a chance of progressing to semifinal of the zonal qualifier. The Nigeria U20 coach said that loss of concentration at the tale end of the match against Ivory Coast, fatigue and failure to take their chances in front of goal were responsible for the 1-1 draw. He believed that the team have put the disappointing result behind them, learned from it and hopeful of coming out victorious in today's encounter. "It was a painful result, conceding one goal in the 90th minute to drop two points because we failed to take our chances in front of goal. Even when we were reduced to ten men, we still created three chances but we were wasteful." He told BSN Sports. "We have put that behind us, pick the lesson and ready to come out victorious in our last group game against Ghana." Flying Eagles who defeated Ghana in the semifinal of the maiden edition of the  tournament in 2018 will have to repeat the same feat this afternoon at 4:00 pm when they face Ghana's U20 men's team at the Stade de Gualle.
