Flying Eagles Win Final Test Match, Beat Freiburg U-23

Flying Eagles wrap up tour of Germany with win against Freiburg U23

Nigeria’s Flying Eagles rounded up their friendly games in their tour of Germany this Tuesday, with a comprehensive 4-1 win over the U-23 team of Freiburg.


The Nigerian team, preparing for the World youth championship in Germany, won their last two friendly games to make it three wins.

Standby Flying Eagles striker, Alhassan Ibrahim continued to enhance his chances of being used as a replacement in case any of the forwards get injured, as for the second game running he was on target.

His goal was the separating point between the Flying Eagles and the Freiburg Under-23 side at halftime.

Freiburg drew level a few minutes into the second half, but Saviour Godwin and Ifeanyi Matthew restored the Flying Eagles' two-goal cushion to demoralise any hope of a comeback for the Germans.

Usman Sale, another player not in the coach's final 21 man team, put the game beyond the reach of the Germans with a fourth for the Flying Eagles to hand them another comprehensive victory.


With this win, Manu Garba’s side have now scored 14 goals in three games and are expected to leave for the Fifa U20 World Cup billed for New Zealand next week.
