Nigeria Thrash Mauritania 5-0 To Qualify For U-20 AFCON

Flying Eagles

The Flying Eagles on Saturday affirmed their superiority over their Mauritanian counterparts by defeating them 5-0 to qualify 6-1 aggregate for the 2019 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The match which was played at the Agege Stadium in Lagos, saw Nigeria qualify as they completely overwhelmed their opponents.

Nigeria were quick to take off from where they stopped a week ago in the first leg match of the fixture in Nouakchott which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Mauritania’s Junior Mourabitounes had in the qualifiers’ earlier rounds dismissed Guinea and Morocco, and the Flying Eagles now head to Niger Republic for the U-20 AFCON.

The final competition is scheduled for Feb. 2 to Feb. 17.
