After going six matches unbeaten at the ongoing FIFA U15 World Cup and Festival in Azerbaijan, the Future Eagles finally succumbed to superior firepower, losing 3-6 to their counterparts from Benin Republic.

Captain Timothy Ogar Ijachi netted twice to climb to 11 goals in the tournament, while Wisdom Boniface scored Nigeria’s other goal for his second of the competition.
