Nigeria U20 are through to the semi finals of the WAFU B tournament in Niger after a 2-2 draw with Burkina Faso.

Burkina Faso came from behind twice to level scores in a 4 goal thriller as Muhammed Beji scored the opening goal for the Flying Eagles.

There was a scare during the game when Ahmed Abdullahi suffered concussion after he collided with the goalkeeper of Burkina Faso. But he was back up and okay after receiving treatment at the hospital.

Only two finalists will qualify for the U20 AFCON in Egypt next year.
