Flying Eagles Edge Athlétique Club de Zuénoula 2-1 in Final Warm-Up

Flying Eagles Edge Athlétique Club de Zuénoula 2-1 in Final Warm-Up

Nigeria’s U-20 side secured a 2-1 victory over Ivorian Ligue 2 outfit Athlétique Club de Zuénoula in their final friendly ahead of the WAFU B Championship. Gift Subi opened the scoring with a header in the 33rd minute. Though Zuénoula equalized early in the second half, substitute Abdulmuiz Adeleke struck in the 78th minute to seal the win. The result boosts Abdu Maikaba’s squad confidence ahead of Monday’s Group B opener against Ghana’s Black Satellites in Yamoussoukro. The Flying Eagles aim to defend their WAFU B crown and qualify for the 2027 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.

A 2-1 win over a Ligue 2 side sounds decent, but how much can we read into this performance against lower-tier opposition?

It's easy to praise the substitute who scored, but credit should go to solid team tactics rather than a single impact player.

If the Eagles shore up their defence and refine set-piece routines, they can convert these friendlies into real tournament momentum.
