Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets Held to Draw by Burkina Faso in U17 WAFU Championship Opener
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In their opening fixture of the 2024 U17 WAFU Championship, Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets were held to a draw by Burkina Faso, dampening their hopes for a strong start.

The tournament began with a dominant display from host nation Ghana, who thrashed Ivory Coast 5-1 in the inaugural match, setting a high bar for the competition.

Facing off against defending champions Burkina Faso, Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets aimed to make a statement in their opening match. Despite controlling the game and creating numerous scoring opportunities, the five-time world champions were unable to secure a victory and had to settle for a draw.

Throughout the match, the Golden Eaglets dictated the pace, showcasing their skill and dominance. However, their inability to convert chances into goals allowed Burkina Faso to stay in the game. The Burkinabe defense held firm, frustrating the Nigerian attackers and ultimately securing a valuable point.

Despite limited offensive forays, Burkina Faso managed to maintain their defensive resilience, proving to be a tough opponent for the Nigerian side. The draw was a disappointing result for the Golden Eaglets, who had hoped to assert their dominance early in the competition.

Looking ahead, Nigeria will be eager to bounce back and rectify their missed opportunity as they prepare to face Niger in their second group match on Sunday. The Manu Garba-coached Golden Eaglets will aim for a more decisive performance to bolster their campaign in the U17 WAFU Championship.

With aspirations of reclaiming their winning form, the Golden Eaglets know that a strong performance against Niger is crucial for their progress in the tournament. They will be focused on converting their chances and securing a vital victory to keep their hopes alive.
