Michael from Simoben Academy of Kaduna, which is owned by Super Eagles star Moses Simon, opened scoring for the victorious Eaglets with a sublime free kick goal on 12 minutes.
It was a brilliant effort that will inspire the Nigerian lads to record a massive win that gives them a head start into marching on to the semifinals by Tuesday when they face Togo in a final group game.
