According to the DAILY POST, Sani Suleiman, a winger for the Flying Eagles, expressed his opinions about the team’s draw with Colombia.
At the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup, Aliyu Zubairu’s team held the South Americans to a 1-1 draw in their last group match on Monday morning.
The seven-time African champions had four points from three games, placing them third in Group F.
As one of the top third-place teams, the Flying Eagles earned a spot in the Round of 16.
For a spot in the quarterfinals, they will play Argentina, another South American team.
After receiving his second booking of the season late in the match against Colombia, Suleiman will not play in the match scheduled for Santiago on Wednesday.
However, the child supported his teammates to complete the task without him.
After the game, he declared, “I’m really happy that we qualified for the knockout stage.”
“We defeated Colombia thanks to our perseverance and teamwork, and we are now through. Even though I won’t be playing against Argentina, I have faith in my teammates to perform well, so maybe we won’t struggle the like we did in the group stage.
