Golden Eaglets of Nigeria defender Emmanuel Michael, has been voted Man of the Match for the second time at the WAFU B U-17 tournament in Ghana.

Michael was adjudged the most outstanding player, after helping the Eaglets defeat Togo 3-1 in their second Group A game on Tuesday.

He first won the award in the Eaglets’ 4-2 win against hosts Ghana in the opening game of the competition.

He scored the first goal of the tournament with a brilliant free-kick against the Black Starlets of Ghana.

He is a player of Simoben Academy in Kaduna which is owned by Super Eagles forward Moses Simon.
