2023 U-20 AFCON: Flying Eagles Deserved The Win Against Egypt — Agbalaka

Flying Eagles defender, Solomon Agbalaka says the Flying Eagles deserved their hard-fought 1-0 victory over hosts Egypt at the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.

Agbalaka netted the winning goal from a powerful header in the 71st minute.

Egypt dominated play at the Cairo International Stadium but was wasteful in front of the goal.

The left-back insisted that the Flying Eagles deserved their victory despite Egypt’s dominance in the game.

“We worked very hard, so I would like to thank my coach and all my colleagues for their efforts.
