WAFU U-17: Golden Eaglets captain Cletus wins second consecutive MOTM award

Golden Eaglets captain Simon Cletus was named Man of the Match for the second consecutive game following the team’s 1-0 victory over Niger Republic on Sunday night.

Cletus was also named Man of the Match in Nigeria’s 0-0 draw with Burkina Faso last Friday.

The youngster put up another impressive performance against Niger, who gave their all in the encounter.

Rapha Adams scored the winning goal for the Golden Eaglets with a header on the half hour mark.

Manu Garba’s boys finished the game with 10-men after Chibuike Okorie was sent off in the second half.

The Golden Eaglets will take on already eliminated Togo in their last group game on Wednesday.
