F’Eagles Battle Morocco To Scoreless Draw

T he Flying Eagles and their Moroccan counterparts yesterday played out a scoreless draw in continuation of Group B of the 2025 U20 AFCON in Egypt.

Tunisia are third with three points, while debutants Kenya are yet to record any points after two rounds of matches. As many as three teams from this group could well advance to the knockout stage of the competition.

6On Wednesday, seventime champions Nigeria tackle Kenya, while Morocco battle Tunisia in an all-North African Derby.
