“We gave the game away” – Manu speaks on Flying Eagles draw with Ghana

Nigeria’s Flying Eagles was held to a 2-2 draw by Ghana U-20 in an international friendly played in Accra on Monday.

The national U-20 football team relinquished their lead twice to settle for a draw in a test match against the Black Satellites of Ghana.

The game is one of two warm up games organised for both teams who are expected to feature in the 2015 African Youth Championship billed for next month in Senegal.
In the 22nd minute, former Golden Eaglets star Musa Yahaya scored the opener.
The hosts rallied back and secured an equaliser in the 35th minute, before Chidera Eze put the Flying Eagles back in front with his 40th minute strike which gave Nigeria 2-1 advantage going into the first half break.

The Black Satellites, not willing to go down, came back strong in the second half to ensure the game ended in a no winner no vanquished situation.
