Golden Eaglets, were beaten 2-1 by Gabon Sunday in their
final round first leg 2015 African U-17 qualifier at the Stade
Augustin Monedan de Sibang in Libreville.
Victor Osimhen gave the Golden Eaglets an early fourth
minute goal while the home side levelled up through
Moubouhy Ngouba in the 26th minute and Maomikolo
Boundembi scored the winner in the 80th minute that saw
Osimhen getting a ‘questionable’ red card from Central
African Republic referee, Jean Marc Ganamandji in the 70th
minute.
“The boys gave their best under the circumstances that we
found ourselves especially the difficult travelling
arrangement which caused fatigue especially in the second
half,” explained Coach Emmanuel
Amuneke. “But with all sense of responsibility, the officiating
of this match was poor but we have to put this behind us
and focus on the second leg.
