Nigeria will play Cameroon in the final of the African Youth Championship in South Africa on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Flying Eagles beat Mali 2-0 in their semi-final whilst Cameroon needed penalties to overcome Egypt, after their match ended 0-0 after extra-time.<\/p>\n

There was controversy during the shoot-out when two of Cameroon’s penalties, which had been saved, were ordered to be re-taken and were then converted.<\/p>\n

Uche Nwofor and Stanley Okoro scored Nigeria’s goals against Mali.<\/p>\n

There was also controversy around the Nigerian opener – with several Mali players protesting that there had been a hand-ball in the build-up.<\/p>\n

Mali will play Cameroon in the third-place play-off, also on Monday.<\/p>\n

All four semi-finalists had already qualified for the Under-20 World Cup in Colombia later this year and details of the draw were announced earlier.<\/p>\n

Egypt will play the opening match of the tournament against Brazil, and will then take on Austria and Panama in Group E.<\/p>\n

Nigeria will play Guatemala, Croatia and Saudi Arabia in Group D.<\/p>\n

Mali are in Group A with the hosts, Colombia plus South Korea and France and Cameroon are in Group B along with Portugal, Uruguay and the as yet undecided champions of Oceania.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
