Golden Eaglets to battle Mali for Morocco 2013

The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria will play a two-legged tie against the junior Eagles of Mali in their final African Youth Championship qualifying round in November. Nigeria's under 17 team defeated the junior 'Sili' National of Guinea by 4-0 in Conakry on Sunday afternoon to move to the final qualifying round with a 7-0 aggregate win.
Mali overcame Mauritania with a 6-2 aggregate win to get to this stage. The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria have now scored a total of 17 goals in four qualifiers and they've only conceded a goal. The only goal they conceded was in their 4-1 away win over Niger Republic in Niamey. Nigeria's under 17 team have won the FIFA World Youth Championship on three occasions and they finished as runners-up in 2009 when they hosted the tournament.
