Flying Eagles Set for Big Battle Against Morocco to Reach Quarter-Finals
Flying Eagles striker Precious Benjamin has said the team is fully prepared for their crucial Group B showdown against Morocco in the ongoing 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations. The high-stakes match is set to take place on Sunday at the June 30 Air Defence Stadium in Cairo.
Nigeria began their campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Tunisia’s Young Carthage Eagles, while Morocco edged out Kenya in a thrilling 3-2 win. With both teams eyeing a quarter-final spot, a win for either side will seal their place in the next round.
“We know we’re up against a tough side. Morocco is technical and won their first game too, so it won’t be easy,” Benjamin said in a chat with the team’s media officer. “Our main goal remains qualifying for the World Cup, and we’re confident we can make it happen.” Kick-off is scheduled for 7pm Nigerian time.
Barcelona player Lamine Yamal hits a new milestone as he breaks the world record of goals scored in Europe’s top five leagues.
He earned this title after helping the team to a 3–0 win against Mallorca. Just under the age of 19, he achieved this. He has now passed Kylian Mbappé’s record.
Yamal now has 24 goals, overtaking Mbappé, who had scored 23 for AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain before turning 19 on 23 December 2017.
Super Eagles manager Eric Chelle speaks on player Ademola Lookman’s performance in the AFCON 2025 tournament.
He stated that he truly had an impact on the team and contributed to their wins and defence, but noted that the player later dropped in performance during the quarter-finals.
“He was very good throughout the group phase, so exceptional. However, in the quarter-finals, it is true he started to falter a bit; physically, he is good, but it’s true we felt he was tired.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
