Flying Eagles overcome Wikki Tourists

On Thursday night at the FIFA Goal Project Pitch in Abuja, the Flying Eagles defeated Wikki Tourists, a team from the Nigeria Professional Football League, 2-0.

The Flying Eagles have now scored 37 goals and conceded only once.

The friendly was watched by top Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) officials led by secretary general, Mohammed Sanusi.

Remo Stars midfielder, Adams Olamilekan gave the Eagles the lead from a well-taken free-kick from the edge of the box in the first half.

Substitute striker, Segun Otusanya capitalized on a goalkeeping blunder to score the Flying Eagles second goal of the game two minutes from time.

The Nigeria U-20 side will face another NPFL side, Nasarawa United by 4pm on Friday.

Bosso’s boys will also keep a date with Lobi Stars on Saturday morning to complete the first phase of their camping exercise.
