F/Eagles pip Burundi 1-0

The Flying Eagles on Saturday in Bujumbura made a winning start to the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations qualifying series, beating hosts Burundi 1-0. The half time scores stood at 0-0 but it changed when the Flying Eagles grabbed the winning goal in the second half through ex-Golden Eaglets star Agor Chukwudi who broke the deadlock in the 64th minute of the contest at the Prince Louis Rwagasore Stadium.

The Emmanuel Amuneke-led side will face the Burundi U20s at the UJ Esuene Stadium in Calabar in the return leg next month.

Nigeria are the defending champions of the Africa U20 Cup of Nations after beating Senegal in the 2015 final.
