Nigeria U17 National team coach Nduka Ugbade has admitted that the Morroco U17 team can beat Nigeria when the two countries file out on Wednesday for their second group game match at the ongoing 2023 U17 AFCON in Algeria
Ugbade said this while speaking in the pre-match conference on Tuesday
“I expect the game tomorrow against Morroco to be a highly tactical match and a very serious one, why? Because in the group Morroco is leading because they won by 2-0. I had the opportunity to watch about 20 minutes of their match against South Africa, I was impressed with the way they play and what they do, we expect a very tough match tomorrow. Morroco is a very very strong and they defend well, a very compact side, I noticed this. So we will adjust to their play, we can lose as well we know this but we are prepared for this match”
The Golden Eaglet won their first match against Zambia by a lone goal while Morroco also got a win over South Africa by two goals to nil, a win for any of the sides on Wednesday will give them a great chance to progress to the knockout stage
