Nigeria U20s Stars Fail To Find Their Scoring Boots In Friendly, Arsenal Trainee Nwakali Injured

The Nigeria U20s were held to a goalless draw by Dream FC in a scrimmage on Thursday as part of their preparations for next month’s Africa U20 Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Burundi.

The Flying Eagles had scored goals for fun in their first three friendlies, thrashing Sia-One Academy, Dabo Babes and a Kaduna State selected side, scoring15 goals in the process and conceding three times.

But missed chances today at the FIFA Goal Project, Abuja cost the Emmanuel Amuneke-led side victory, with Victor Osimhen trying his luck from distance on two occasions while Samuel Chukwueze’s weak shot did not worry the goalkeeper.

Kingsley Michael saw his effort go wide from the edge of the box.

Skipper Kelechi Nwakali is presently nursing a minor injury and was not in action against the Nigeria National League club.
