18 Golden Eaglets’ Senior Secondary School (SSS) 1 student captain, Simon Cletus, was named Man of the Match against Burkina Faso.
This was revealed by the Eaglets’ media officer Francis Achi on his X handle.
The Eaglets opened their Group B 2024 WAFU B U-17 tournament with a 0-0 draw against the Burkinabes on Thursday in Ghana.
Despite the draw, Cletus was outstanding for the coach Manu Garba-led side as he was involved in some of the team’s best moments in the game.
In the 24th minute he gave a defence splitting pass to Abdulmuiz Oladimeji, but the attacker missed target.
