Friendly: Flying Eagles Wallop Paul E Sport

Published on: 01 December 2022

Nigeria Flying Eagles were in imperious mood as they put five pass Paul E Sports Academy on Thursday in a warm up friendly on Thursday.

Two first half goals and three more in the second half saw the Nigeria U-20 ease pass their opponents at the FIFA Goal Project Pitch.

The Nigeria lads we're on the ascendency from the blast of the whistle getting close to scoring as early as the 8th minutes.

Two minutes later, Jonas Emmanuel made it count as he applied a brilliant finish to the left wing cross.

The tally would have increased later on after Dominion Ohaka and Emmanuel could have scored in separate situations.

But in the 37th minutes, Ekpeyong Emmanuel made sure the momentum enjoyed by the Nigerians was not a waste. He chested and sent a ferocious strike to the roof to make it two nil.

Paul E tried to get a goal back before the end of the half, but Flying Eagles goalkeeper, Nathaniel Nwosu was alert to save the ball.

The Eagles continued with the same acendency as the first half, pushing for more goals.

And by the 65th minute substitute, Obiakor Ifesinachi benefited from a sweet pass from Adam Abdulrahman to score and make it three.

Ifesinachi scored his brace in the 71st minute, after he latched on to a cross field pass to hit the bottom corner putting score at 4-0.

Gbadamosi Umar wrapped up score in the 8 minute after being set up by Adam Abdulrahman to poke the ball pass the keeper.
