By Niyi Busari
In the last match of group A fixture, any two of the four teams still stand a chance to progress to the semifinal at the ongoing U20 WAFU Zone B tournament in Benin Republic, BNSports.com.ng can report.
The last group two games which will be played simultaneously at 4pm will see hosts, Benin Republic seeking their second win in the zonal competition against Burkina Faso at the Stade Rene Plava at 4pm. It is going to be a tough match as a loss for either team would shatter their dream of playing in the 2021 CAF U20 Nations Cup in Mauritania, while a win for Benin Republic guarantees semifinal ticket with 6 points (having won one and lost one game). Also a win for Burkina Faso means they will be on 4 points (having lost one match and drew one) and will have to wait for the outcome of Togo versus Niger Republic result.
In the other group match, table topper, Niger Republic needs just a win or a draw but must avoid a loss to guarantee a place in the semifinal of the championship while it is a must-win game for Togo who had just one point in their previous two matches. Togo who are on four points hawon won one and drew one match while Togo lost one game and drew one.
