Nigeria’s Flying Eagles will today tackle Tunisia for a podium finish in the third-place match of the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
After a 1-0 loss to The Gambia’s Young Scorpions in the tournament’s second semi-final in Cairo on Monday sent the Flying Eagles to the qualification stage, where they will face Tunisia, who lost 3-0 to the stalwart Senegalese in the first semi-final the same day.
The match at Cairo International Stadium will begin at 3pm Nigeria time.
Finishing the competition on a positive note is now their target as they battle the North Africans.
Bosso once again expressed disappointment with the defeat to Gambia but is keen for his players to return home with a good vibe.
“It was unfortunate we lost the semifinals and now we will play the third place match,” Bosso was quoted by CAFonline.
“The third place is as good as the final. We believe if we get it right we will take something home and I believe we can put smiles on the faces of football loving Nigerians.”
