Adeleke's Brace Sends Flying Eagles into WAFU B U-20 Semi-finals

Posted : 31 July 2026

Nigeria's Flying Eagles secured a place in the semi-finals of the ongoing WAFU B U-20 Championship after defeating Togo's Sparrow Hawks 3-0 in their second Group B match on Thursday in Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire.

The victory ensured Nigeria maintained a perfect record in the competition, having opened their campaign with an emphatic 4-2 win over Ghana's Black Satellites.

After a tightly contested first half that ended goalless, the Flying Eagles found their rhythm after the restart, with forward Muiz Adeleke once again emerging as the star of the show.

Togo threatened on a few occasions before the break and came closest in the 38th minute when they squandered a clear scoring opportunity, while Nigeria also enjoyed spells of possession without finding a breakthrough.

The deadlock was finally broken just one minute into the second half when Adeleke, who scored twice against Ghana in Nigeria's opening fixture, finished clinically to hand his side the lead.

The striker doubled Nigeria's advantage in the 59th minute after racing onto a swift counterattack, rounding the Togolese goalkeeper before calmly slotting the ball into an empty net.

Nigeria continued to dominate proceedings and nearly added a third after capitalising on a goalkeeping error, but the chance went begging.

Substitute Abdoulaye Agbejoye eventually completed the scoring in the 85th minute, finding the net shortly after replacing Adeleke to cap an impressive attacking display by the seven-time African champions.

The Flying Eagles comfortably saw out the remaining minutes to record a convincing victory and book their place in the last four of the regional championship.

Nigeria will now turn their attention to Sunday's semi-final clash against Burkina Faso as they continue their quest for the WAFU B U-20 title.

With two victories from two matches, the Flying Eagles have underlined their credentials as one of the tournament favourites. They will look to carry their impressive form into the semi-finals as they aim to secure another WAFU B U-20 Championship crown.
