Flying Eagles head coach, Aliyu Zubairu has lauded his players for their strong character after they secured a place in the final at the ongoing WAFU B U-20 Championship in Togo.
The title holders started the competition with a 1-0 defeat against already eliminated Burkina Faso.
The Flying Eagles however bounced back with impressive wins against Cote d’Ivoire and Niger Republic.
South Africa will host the U-20 AFCON early next year.
“I commend the boys, they showed real character to fight back and win the match, it was the same way they did against Cote d’Ivoire,” Zubairu said in his post-match reaction.
“We were disappointed when we lost to Burkina Faso in our opening game, but we have since bounced back to top reckoning.”
Nigeria and Ghana will clash in the final of the WAFU B U-20 Championship in Lome on Wednesday.
