The Ivorians got what turned to be their winning goal in the
76th minute of Wednesday’s encounter.
With Group B having only three teams and each team to play
only two matches, the chances of the Eaglets progressing has been made more
difficult with the opening day loss.
Having started with a loss in Lome, the Golden Eaglets are
condemned to win their other Group game against arch-rivals Ghana on Saturday.
Both Nigeria and Ghana have seven cadet world titles between
them, and clashes between them at any level usually have an extra edge.
At the moment, the goal for the Golden Eaglets is to qualify
for this year’s CAF U17 Cup of Nations taking place in the North African
kingdom of Morocco.
Already, FIFA has announced that the U-17 and U-20 World
Cups will not hold this year as earlier scheduled.
