AFCON U-20: Nigeria’s Flying Eagles lose group-opener against Senegal

Nigeria’s Flying Eagles started their U-20 Africa Cup of Nations campaign on a sour note after they were pipped by Senegal 1-0 at the Cairo International Stadium on Sunday evening.

First half strike from Soumare Faye for the Young Teranga Lions gave the Senegalese the all-important victory.

The player also became the first player to score in the competition after Egypt and Mozambique played a barren draw.
