Live commentary: CAF WAFU B U-17 – Nigeria vs Togo

The Golden Eaglets are gearing up for a decisive battle in their final CAF WAFU B U-17 group stage clash against Togo, a match that will determine their progression to the next round of the regional competition.

After securing a hard-fought draw against Burkina Faso in their opening match and clinching a 1-0 victory against Niger, thanks to a solitary goal from Rapha Adams, the team finds itself in a pivotal moment.

Adams’ goal came as a result of a defensive mix-up by the Nigerien defense, showcasing his keen sense of positioning and opportunism.

With four points from their first two matches, the Golden Eaglets, under the stewardship of coach Manu Garba, are in a relatively strong position but still face immense pressure.

The outcome of this final group stage match against Togo will be crucial. A win will guarantee their place in the next round and keep their hopes alive for a berth in the U-17 World Cup.

However, any other result could leave their fate hanging in the balance, dependent on the outcomes of other group matches.

Stay tuned for minute-by-minute updates of this thrilling encounter, as the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria take on Togo in a potentially tournament-defining match.
