Nigeria’s Flying Eagles produced a commanding display to defeat Benin Republic 4–1 in their second Group A outing at the WAFU B U20 Championship in Prampram, Ghana.
Needing a response after a nervy 1–1 opener against hosts Ghana, Aliyu Zubairu’s side responded in style with goals from Mohammed Abdullahi, Anthony Kpangu, Imrana Muhammad, and Abduljelil Mustapha.

Benin took the lead through a first-half free-kick, but Nigeria levelled before the break and never looked back. Quickfire goals after the restart and relentless attacking saw the former African champions take charge of the contest.
With four points from two matches, Nigeria now sit top of Group A. They will advance as group winners unless Ghana manage to beat Benin by at least four goals in their final fixture on Wednesday.
