Future Eagles Still Waiting for Breakthrough After Jordan Stalemate
Nigeria’s U15 side, the Future Eagles, remain without a win at the FIFA U15 World Cup and Festival in Baku, Azerbaijan, after playing out a 2-2 draw against Jordan on Sunday. Coach Patrick Bassey’s team showed attacking promise but failed to hold on defensively, recording their second consecutive draw in the competition.
The result followed Nigeria’s 3-3 stalemate against South Sudan in their opening match on Saturday at the Hovsan Competition Complex. The Future Eagles have now scored five goals in two games but are still searching for their first victory, with defensive lapses threatening to undermine their attacking efforts.
Nigeria are scheduled to face The Gambia on Sunday evening before taking on Cyprus and Pakistan in a double fixture on Monday, according to the supplied report. With five group-stage matches lined up in Group AD, Bassey and his coaching crew will be looking to tighten the defence while maintaining the team’s attacking momentum.
