Flying Eagles versatile midfielder Auwal Ibrahim ‘Germany’ has been named by CAF as the official Man of the Match for today’s hard-fought victory over Tunisia.
The well-taken goal by the Akwa United youngster in the first-half gave Nigeria full points on the opening day of action in Group B of the 2025 U20 AFCON in Egypt.
The Zaria-born former Golden Eaglets midfielder has pushed his way into the Starting XI of the Junior Eagles after he did not feature at last year’s sub-regional qualifiers in Togo.
He got his nickname ‘Germany’ as a kid growing up in his hometown of Zaria because of the accuracy of passes.
Nigeria will next face Morocco in another Group B match Sunday.
