The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria will take on Burkina Faso in the final match of the 2022 WAFU B Under-17 tournament on Friday in Cape Coast, Ghana.

 

In the competition’s second semi-final match on Tuesday, Burkina Faso edged hosts Ghana 1-0.

 

This was courtesy of a second-half penalty kick converted by Ousamane Camara in the 64th minute

 

The second semi-final match’s result means both Burkina Faso and the Golden Eaglets will be at next year’s Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Algeria.

 

In the first semi-final decided earlier on Tuesday, the Golden Eaglets came from a goal down to beat Côte d’Ivoire 3-1.

 

Yan Diomandi had given the Baby Elephants the lead just two minutes into the game from the penalty kick spot.

 

But two well-taken free-kicks by Emmanuel Michael saw the Golden Eaglets go into the break 2-1 ahead.

 

Cote d’Ivoire was pegged further back on the hour mark when Abdullahi found the net with a glancing header to settle the contest.
