Twelve minutes later, Adeleke struck again to double the lead. After dribbling past the goalkeeper, he coolly slotted the ball into an empty net. His brace effectively sealed the match.

3-0 to wrap it up

Late in the match, in the 84th minute, Abdoulaye Agbegoye took advantage of a poorly cleared ball by the Togolese defense. He finished calmly to make it 3-0. The Flying Eagles were untouchable, grabbing the win, a clean sheet, and a place in the next round.

Nigeria on top, awaiting Burkina vs Ghana

This victory follows their opening 4-2 win against Ghana. With 6 points and a +5 goal difference, Nigeria currently leads Group B. The final standings will depend on the result between Burkina Faso, who already beat Togo 3-1, and Ghana. But the main objective is achieved: Nigeria are in the semi-finals and edging closer to the 2027 U20 AFCON in Ghana.
