Osimhen, Bamgboye Score As Flying Eagles Come From A Goal Down To Beat Nigeria U23s
Published: May 12, 2016
The Flying Eagles continued preparations for their Africa U20 Cup of Nations qualifiers against Burundi with an impressive 2-1 victory against the Dream Team VI on Thursday.
Samson Siasia’s side took the lead in the 22nd minute when Daniel Etor’s freekick needed a deflection before sailing into the net, but the goal has been awarded to the Enyimba striker.
The Nigeria U23s were pegged back ten minutes later by Funsho Bamgboye, who received a pass from Wolfsburg trainee Osimhen before tapping home from close range.
On 65 minutes, the Flying Eagles launched one of their trademark counterattacks. John Lazarus’ whipped ball towards the Dream Team’s goal found Victor Osimhen, who slotted home from six yards.
The Nigeria delegation to Bujumbura will depart Abuja on Wednesday, May 18 aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight.
