The Flying Eagles today got off to a fine start with a 5-0 spanking of Paul E Sports Academy in a first friendly since they resumed training camp this week.
The U20s, who are preparing for next year’s U20 AFCON in Egypt, dominated this test game and were hardly troubled by their opponents.
Lively winger Emmanuel Justine opened scoring for the Flying Eagles in the 10th minute, before Ekpenyong Emmanuel doubled the lead with a powerful shot on 37 minutes.
Energetic striker Obiakor Ifesinachi made it 3-0 in the 65th minute with an assist by Abdulrahamn Adam, before the substitute got his brace in the 71st minute.
Another sub, Gbadamosi Umar, increased the margin to 5-0 with 10 minutes left on the clock.
The Flying Eagles will play a second test game tomorrow.
