Simon Cletus was named Man of the Match, in the Golden Eaglets’ 1-0 win against Niger Republic in Group B, at the WAFU B U-17 tournament in Ghana.
Cletus, captain of the Golden Eaglets, has now won back-to-back Man of the Match award at the ongoing tournament.
He first picked up the award in the coach Manu Garba-led side’s 0-0 draw against Burkina Faso.
In Sunday’s Second Group B game against Niger Republic, Rapha Adams’ first half strike was enough to secure the three points.
The Eaglets had a player sent off in the second half but held on for the important win.
They will take on Togo in their final group game on Wednesday, 22 May.
