The Flying Eagles of Nigeria have suffered a disappointing exit from the 2024 African Games following a 3-2 defeat to Senegal in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Ladan Bosso\u2019s side, buoyed by a hard-fought victory against South Sudan where Sadiq Isiaka\u2019s penalty secured the win, faced another stern test against the Senegalese team.<\/p>\n

Despite their seven-time U-20 Africa Cup of Nations champions status, the Flying Eagles required just a draw to advance to the next round. However, Senegal thwarted their ambitions with a determined performance.<\/p>\n

Charles Agada, who had showcased his talent for Nduka Ugbade\u2019s Golden Eagles at the U-17 AFCON tournament, opened the scoring in the second minute for the Flying Eagles. However, Senegal swiftly responded, with Idrissa Gueye leveling the score before firing his team ahead before halftime.<\/p>\n

Although Nigeria fought back early in the second half with Chibueze Izuogu\u2019s equalizer, Senegal regained the lead through a goal in the 65th minute to secure victory and dump Ladan Bosso\u2019s charges out of the games.<\/p>\n

Despite Nigeria\u2019s late efforts and even being reduced to 10 men, Senegal maintained their advantage until the final whistle, dashing the Flying Eagles\u2019 hopes of progressing further in the competition.<\/p>\n
