In a dramatic twist at the ongoing U-17 Africa Cup of Nations in Algeria, Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets were ousted by Burkina Faso in a thrilling quarter-final match at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers on Thursday.
Despite a flurry of opportunities and dominating possession, the Nigerian team were unable to convert their chances into goals, culminating in a disappointing 2-1 defeat.
Nduka Ugbade’s boys started like a house on fire but were undone by their own lack of precision and the outstanding performance of Burkina Faso’s goalkeeper.
