The Flying Eagles of Nigeria are through to the semi-final of U-20 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) after beating Niger 1-0 on Friday afternoon.
The best chance of the game came knocking for the Nigerian side to take the lead 4 minutes into the game but Yahaya failed to convert one on one with the Niger goalkeeper.
73 minutes on, Adamu Alhassan’s freekick from the right beats the goalkeeper and sails into the net to secure all three points for the Eagles.
Nigeria top the group with 7 points and also book a spot at the U-20 World Cup in Poland.
