Chelle praises Flying Eagles' 3-0 win over Togo, eyes Burkina Faso clash

Éric Chelle, head coach of the Super Eagles, praised the Flying Eagles after their 3‑0 victory over Togo in the WAFU B U‑20 Championship held in Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire on Thursday, July 30, 2026. Abdumuiz Adeleke scored a brace and substitute Abdoulaye Agbeloye added the third goal after a goalless first half. Chelle said he was pleased with the second‑half performance, noting the team applied high pressure, created chances and converted them.

The win secures Nigeria’s place in the tournament semi‑finals and sets up a final group match against Burkina Faso on Sunday, August 1, 2026. The result signals strong preparation for the upcoming African U‑20 Cup of Nations qualifiers and boosts morale for Nigerian youth football fans.

With the Flying Eagles showing improved attacking cohesion, will this momentum carry them past Burkina Faso and into the semi‑finals, or will they need to tighten their defence against a tougher opponent?
