Emmanuel Michael picked up his third Man of the Match award at the WAFU B U-17 tournament, after helping the Golden Eaglets come from behind to beat Côte d’Ivoire 3-1 in Tuesday’s semi-final.
Michael scored two free-kicks in the first half, to cancel out Yan Diomandi’s second minute opener from the penalty spot for Côte d’Ivoire.
All of Michael’s three goals at the ongoing regional tournament have come from free-kicks.
