Despite being named the Man of the Match for the second consecutive game, Golden- Eaglets defender, Yahaya Lawali was dejected as his side were on the losing end, suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Morocco in their second Group B match of the 2023 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations.
The defeat for the Golden Eaglets now means they must win their final match of the group against South Africa to battle for the only available automatic qualification slot into the quarter finals.
Speaking after the game, the exciting fullback said the Golden Eaglets paid the price for not using their chances. Nigeria had 27 shots, only four of them on target and none ended in the back of the net.
