Nigeria’s Flying Eagles’ opponents in Thursday’s quarter-finals of the CAF U-20 Nations Cup could not be decided on the pitch on Sunday as curtain fell on Group B.

Nigeria as Group A runners-up are to face the Group B winners. Both Congo and Uganda are tied on points as each had five points from the three group matches they played.

The first tie-breaker employable is goal difference. Both are also tied on this – as they each had one goal credit. The next is the head-to-head. Both played 2-2 draw when they met last Thursday.
