Ghana beat their U20 counterparts from Nigeria to progress to the semi final of the WAFU tournament while Nigeria are on the verge of exiting the tournament.
After drawing 1-1 with Côte d’Ivoire in their opening game, the Nigerian team needed at least a draw to stay alive in the tournament but a late free kick ended their hope.
The wasteful Nigeria team will now hope on Ghana thrashing Ivory Coast by a higher margin for them to progress to the next round with Ivory Coast needing just a draw.
Coach of the Nigeria U20 team Ladan Bosso has revealed his line up for the second game of his team at the ongoing WAFU B U20 AFCON qualifiers tournament.
Nigeria drew their first game 1-1 against Côte d’Ivoire conceding with what was virtually the last kick of the game with Nigeria reduced to ten men following the sending off of Chris Nwaeze.
In today’s game, the coach has dropped three players from that team with captain Mike Zaruma, Chisom Orji and Peter Olawale making way for the trio of Charles Etim, Nenrot Silas and Chukuwbuikem Ikwuemesi.
In central defence Jimmy Abdul comes in for the suspended Nwaeze with Moses Solomon and Isiah Ejeh keeling their spot as part of the back four in front of goalkeeper Kolawole Oladipo.

Kevin Akpoguma has hit back at reports in some German media where it was said that he desperately jumped at the chance of playing for Nigeria at senior level.
Akpoguma represented Germany at several levels and was at a time captain of the U20 team but three months ago he switched allegiance to Nigeria and he has four caps to his name already.
It appears his decision didn’t go down well with some section of the media in Germany with suggestions that he could have waited a bit like Felix Uduokhai because it’s this season that he has stamped his feet as a regular for Hoffenheim.
So far he has played all the games for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga and he is for the first time a regular in the top division same as Uduokhai who was invited for the last round of international games after impressing for Augsburg. Although he didn’t get to play.
“ No way. I made the decision at a time I believe suits me and my career. Nigeria wanted me the most and I am very happy playing for the Super Eagles. No regret not waiting for Germany. That’s in the past to me”, he said .
Almeria forward Sadiq Umar says he has done enough to be given a chance to fight for a spot in the senior national team of Nigeria.
Last season, the lanky forward scored 17 goals and also had 17 assists for Partizan Belgrade and he scored another six in team games this season before moving to Almeria.
When he joined Almeria they were languishing in the lower rung of the table but right now they are pushing for a LaLiga promotion spot with Sadiq playing his role so far in their quest.
Sadiq has scored four goals in 14 games with two assists and more importantly he has won four penalties that his helped lifted his side to wins in games.
Speaking on getting a chance with the senior national team of Nigeria, Sadiq said all he needs is an invitation to show his worth to the coaches and Nigerians “ I can only play if I am called up”, Sadiq told Owngoalnigeria.com.
“ Last time I played for the national team I was top scorer for the U23 at the Rio Olympics. In 2018 I had a very good second half of the season many think I will be called up to fight for a spot in the World Cup team but it didn’t happen.
“ While I was in Serbia , I read where the coach Gernot Rohr said he is watching me closely and I ended the season with 17 goals and 17 assists. Now I’m at Almeria and doing same. I hope I get the chance soon but I’m only 23 so I still have some time if you ask me”.
Coach of Sparta Rotterdam Henk Fraser has given an insight on why Maduka Okoye has cemented his spot as first choice for club and country.
Around this time last year , the 21 year old was 4th choice at Fortuna Düsseldorf in Germany, same position he found himself in the senior national team of Nigeria with no professional game to his name.
From then to now he has grown to the role of first choice for Nigeria and also Sparta Rotterdam with performances especially for his club earning him praises from fans , coaches and teammates.
Speaking on the rise of Okoye , Fraser who was instrumental in the signing of Okoye on a two year deal with the option of another two years explained how he made the step up for both club and country.
The coach went as far as comparing Okoye with legendary Sparta Rotterdam goalkeeper Ed de Goey who was the first shot stopper of the club to make a move to a big team when he moved to Feyenoord In 1990.
“You can compare his situation with that of De Goeij”, says Fraser. “Both keepers already had a lot of talent at a young age, but also the right character to develop further. When I made the choice for Benji (Van Leer, ex Sparta first choice) Okoye got to work with it very well. the reason he’s so good is because Benji is fighting back. So he also feels the pressure to perform. ”
“I like keepers who are dynamic and athletic”, Fraser continues about Okoye. “He is, a big body too. But it’s about holding back balls. And he does that more than properly too.”
Respected Belgium journalists Anders Kevin says Paul Onuachu is a better striker than Napoli record buy Victor Osimhen.
Onuachu has scored 14 goals in 14 league games this season for Genk and he is well on course to finish the season as the top scorer in Belgium in what is his second season at the club.
Anders who watched Victor Osimhen at close quarters during his time on loan at Charleroi Insist that Onuachu has more deadly instincts in the box than Osimhen.
Osimhen scored 20 goals with four assists in Belgium before moving to Lille where his tally of 18 goals in 38 games earned him a record transfer to Lille.
Despite his healthy goal count, Anders insist that Onuachu is a better finisher and his record from Midtjylland down to Genk shows what he is all about.
“ Osimhen is good. I like him a lot and wrote a lot about him while he was here but Onuachu is a beast in the box. More deadly that Osimhen who many don’t really know doesn’t convert a quarter of the chances he get”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com
“ Onuachu need just one good chance in the box to wreck havoc. Osimhen most times need around four to convert one . You can say Osimhen is a better all round footballer than Onuachu and you’re right but not a better finisher. Onuachu is like Olivier Giroud in several ways. An old fashion kind of number 9”.
Watford forward Isaac Success has for the first time admitted that he has the ability to be a better footballer than he is at the moment.

Ahead of his possible return to the team in January the forward admitted that he has not live up to the promise that made Watford splash big on him four years ago and vow to make amends when he returns.
“Sometimes I feel disappointed with myself as I’ve got the qualities and everything a forward player will need,” he said.
“I need to do the right things and wait for my chance. I think I’ve got lots to offer the team. It’s been disappointing not getting the chance [over the years] and being injured a couple of times when it was time for me to explode.
“I just need to keep working as there is so much more to come. It’s time for me to deliver for the team and the fans as they have been waiting too long. The wait is now over.”
