An own goal by Tochukwu Ogboji as early as the 2nd minute was all the Moroccans needed to cage the Eaglets.
Morocco secured their place in the Africa U17 Cup of Nations quarter-finals, snatching all three points in a hard-fought match against the Golden Eaglets in Constantine on Wednesday.
Despite dominating large portions of the game, Nigeria’s young side squandered numerous opportunities, allowing their Moroccan counterparts to claim victory.
An own goal by Tochukwu Ogboji as early as the 2nd minute was all the Moroccans, who downed South Africa’s Amajimbo 2-0 on the opening day, needed to make it within a step of booking a spot at this year’s FIFA U17 World Cup.
