Defending champions Senegal are now the team who stand between the Flying Eagles and the ticket to the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile after they finished runners-up in Group C.
Senegal, who won the U20 AFCON in style two years ago also in Egypt, beat DR Congo 2-0 to advance to the quarterfinal.
The Flying Eagles will therefore be seeking revenge against their fellow West Africans after they beat them 1-0 in the opening match of the 2023 U20 AFCON.
The quarterfinal in Ismailia Monday afternoon will kick-off 3pm Nigerian time.
