The Golden Eaglets have emerged champions of the 2022 WAFU Zone B tournament after beating Burkina Faso 2-1 in the final on Friday.
A brace from Abdullahi Idris secured the win and the trophy for the Eaglets.
Just like the Flying Eagles, the Golden Eaglets are champions of the WAFU Zone B tournament.
The win against Burkina Faso was the coach Nduka Ugbade-led side’s fourth consecutive win at the competition.
Idris opened the scoring in the 23rd minute as he leapt to head in a delightful cross from Emmanuel Michael.
With four minutes left in the first half Ouedraogo equalized for Burkina Faso after he headed in a cross.
But in the 48th minute Idris grabbed his second goal to put the Eaglets 2-1 up. A free-kick from Michael saw the Burkinabe keeper drop the ball before Idris slotted home the rebound.
Both finalists will represent the WAFU Zone B at the 2023 U-17 tournament in Algeria.
In the third place match played earlier on Friday, Ghana beat Côte d’Ivoire 3-2 to end the campaign on a high.
