The national under-17 male football team on Thursday thrashed Bayern Munich Academy of Abuja 5-1 in a friendly match.
The match was part of the Golden Eaglets’ preparations for the 2021 Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations slated for Morocco in March.
Eaglets were recently drawn in Group B with Tanzania, Algeria and Congo for the fiesta scheduled for March 13 to March 31.
In the friendly match at the River plate football ground in Abuja, the Eaglets who have been in camp since January outclassed their opponents with a scintillating display.
The first half of the match started on a cautious note with both sides unable to convert their goalscoring chances.
