Nigeria’s U20 side, the Flying Eagles, [claimed](https://www.frenchviolation.com/wiki/index.php/Utilisateur:LakeishaBlacklow) a 2–1 victory over Egypt’s Young Pharaohs on Tuesday in a friendly encounter at the Cairo International Stadium, part of their build-up to the 17th Africa U20 Cup of Nations. +

Kparobo Arierhi, fresh from his heroics at the WAFU B U20 Championship, where he scored three times, including a brace in the final, opened the scoring in the 10th minute after a neat assist from [Bidemi Amole](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/local-clubs-and-academies/mubaraq-last-minute-goal-seals-gateway-win-over-first-bank/). Egypt equalised through Ahmed Kaabaka in the 65th minute, but Nigeria had the final say. +
+
In the 83rd minute, a foul on Divine Oliseh earned the Flying Eagles a penalty, which was confidently converted by Precious Benjamin to seal the win just seven minutes before full-time. +
+
This morale boosting victory came less than 48 hours after the Nigerian squad landed in Cairo, setting a positive tone ahead of their Group B [fixtures](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/awoniyi-unbothered-by-osimhen-boniface-competition-as-afcon-nears/) against Tunisia, Morocco, and Kenya. +

Egypt, hosts of the tournament and seeded in Group A, will face South Africa, Sierra Leone, Zambia, and Tanzania in the group stage. +

The Flying Eagles’ hard fought victory over Egypt is more than just a friendly win it’s a statement of intent. With the Africa U20 Cup of Nations on the horizon, this performance signals that Nigeria’s young talents are not just showing up they’re ready to compete. +
+
The resilience and tactical discipline displayed especially the composed finish from the penalty spot by Precious Benjamin demonstrate a maturity often lacking at this level. Kparobo Arierhi’s early strike was a reminder that momentum from regional success can translate to continental dominance. +
+
These are the kinds of matches where character is tested, and the Flying Eagles passed with flying colours. Less than 48 hours on foreign soil, against a quality side on home turf, and still they delivered. That says a lot about the preparation, mentality, and ambition in the camp. +

As the [tournament kicks](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-events-and-tournaments/) off, Nigeria must take this [confidence](https://patrimoine-wiki.minesparis.psl.eu/index.php?title=Utilisateur:TeshaSoto1093) into Group B, where tougher challenges await. Tunisia, Morocco, and Kenya will [offer varying](http://www.infinitymugenteam.com80/infinity.wiki/mediawiki2/index.php/User:Roy00I25762) styles of play, but the Flying Eagles have shown they can adapt and overcome. The job is far from done but this win proves the fire is burning. +
