Côte d’Ivoire defeated Nigeria’s Flying Eagles 2-0 in a friendly at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny, Abidjan, on Friday night.
It was sweet revenge for the Junior Elephants, who had lost 2-0 to their fellow West Africans in the first friendly on Wednesday.
Flying Eagles head coach, Aliyu Zubairu, fielded his fringe players for the game.
Côte d’Ivoire took the lead through Tape Kader in the 17th minute.
Isaac Cissé doubled the advantage eight minutes after the break.
Both countries used the friendlies as part of their preparation for the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.
The Flying Eagles, who are expected back in Nigeria on Saturday, will now embark on a one-week break.
