triker, Osinachi Ebere missed a penalty in the early minutes of the first half, the defence of the Malians proved difficult for the Nigerian lads as the game ended goalless in the first half, despite the efforts put in by the Eaglets to at least score a goal before the half-time.
The second half was a different ball entirely for the Golden Eaglets with the approach they adopted in the second half. Victor Osinhen rose to the occasion again by scoring his tenth goal of the tournament, which enabled him to break the nine goals scored by Florent Sinama Pongolle in 2001 and Souleymane Coulibaly ten years later.
