\"Olanrewaju<\/p>\n

Nigeria’s Kayode being challenged by Cameroon defender Yaya Banana<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Nigeria survived a late fightback to beat Cameroon 3-2 after extra-time to win the Africa Youth Championship title in Johannesburg on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Terry Envoh scored the winner in the 92nd minute to give the Flying Eagles their sixth continental title.<\/p>\n

Two second-half goals from Olanrewaju Kayode and Uche Nwofor to put Nigeria in a comfortable lead.<\/p>\n

But strikes from Franck Ohandza and Edgar Salli, with eight minutes left, pushed the match into extra-time.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Egypt<\/strong> finished third after defeating Mali<\/strong> 1-0 in the third-place play-off in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Aly’s 58th minute strike separated the two sides.<\/p>\n

Mali were favourites for the game but a second-half revival by the north Africans helped them to seal the win.<\/p>\n

The Young Eagles dominated the early exchanges with midfielder Coulibaly Abdoulaye creating opportunities for his strikers.<\/p>\n

Mali were made to pay for their profligacy when Aly took advantage of a defensive slip-up to fire low into the far corner.<\/p>\n

All the four teams that reached the semi-final will represent Africa at the Under-20 World Cup in Colombia in July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
