Olympic Eagles in drab goalless draw with Guinea in Under-23 AFCON qualifier

The Olympic Eagles on Wednesday in Abuja drew goalless with the Guinean under-23 male football team in the 2023 Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

In the final qualifying round first leg match at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, the Nigerian team were unimpressive and looked not up to expected standard.

There was nothing to cheer in the Olympic Eagles’ play as the Guineans dominated the first half with a confident play.

With the Guineans playing with more cohesion and holding possession, they stifled the Nigerian team’s midfield and the attacking duo of Success Makanjuola and Timilehin Ogunniyi could not deliver.

Ogunniyi did scare the Guineans in the 28th minute
