The Flying Eagles came back from a goal down to beat Congo 2-1 in a friendly on Sunday night.
It was Ladan Bosso’s side first game since they arrived Morocco last week Friday for the final lap of their preparations for the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.
Despite dominating the early exchanges, the Flying Eagles fell behind on 21 minutes after Onianhue Salomon scored for the Congolese.
The West Africans came close to equalising a couple of times afterwards but were let down by their poor finishing.
