Published: April 17, 2013
Dogbole Niangbo scored in the 90th minute to help Ivory Coast beat pre - tournament favorites Nigeria 1 - 0 in a Group B match at the the CAF U-17 Championship.
A mistake from skipper Musa Mohammed allowed Ivory Coast to snatch victory in a game that was heading for a draw.
The young Elephants now top the standings with 4 points, a point ahead of the Golden Eaglets, who occupy the second position albeit before Ghana tackles Congo later in the day.
Nigeria will face Congo in their last group game on Saturday, April 20.
Whatever the outcome of the other group game between Ghana and Ivory Coast, if the Golden Eaglets defeat Congo, they will qualify for the Fifa Under 17s billed to be staged in UAE from October 17 - 8 November.
