THE match between Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets final Group B game against Togo at the ongoing WAFU B U-17 Championship has been postponed to Thursday over a heavy rain.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the match was originally fixed for Wednesday (today) at 5pm.

According to  the team’s media officer, Francis Achi, the postponement was as a result of a heavy down pour which made the university stadium in Accra, Ghana to be in an unplayable state for the match.

Achi said that the game will be played at the same ground by 9am Nigeria time.

NAN reports that the  Eaglets need a point from the game against Togo to seal their passage to semi-final, as Burkina Faso is currently topping the group with four points from two games.

The  Eaglets occupy second position with same number of points but with an inferior goal difference.

In the same vein the other Group B game between Burkina Faso and Niger has also been postponed for same reason.

The match will also be played on Thursday morning simultaneously with the Eaglets match.

NAN recalls that Rapha Adams the  Eaglets’ striker, Rapha Adams, who scored the winning goal against
Junior Mena of Niger, assured Nigerians that the team will work very hard to beat Togo in their encounter.

Adams said that the Eaglets will do all they can to beat Togo and qualify for the semi- final, noting that winning will be the collective effort of all the players on the pitch. (NAN)
