In an electrifying display of skill and determination, Nigeria's Special Eagles amputee football team thrashed Burundi 11-0 at the ongoing African Amputee Football Cup of Nations (AAFCON 2024) in Egypt.
This historic win marks the team's biggest margin of victory in a competitive game and propels them into the quarter-finals.
Led by skipper Sarafadeen Oyeleke, the Special Eagles came out firing on all cylinders, with Michael Jewell stealing the show with an incredible seven-goal haul.
Mohammed Garima added three more to the tally, while Bolaji Olaogun chipped in with one goal.
This dominant performance comes on the back of a goalless draw with hosts Egypt in their opening match, and the team is now eyeing a spot at the 2026 Amputee Football World Cup in Morocco.
“We are not just looking to make up the numbers; we are here to win the trophy,” declared Oyeleke, his eyes fixed on the ultimate prize.
With this convincing win, the Special Eagles have sent a clear message to their opponents. They are a force to be reckoned with.
As they await their next opponents in the quarter-finals, one thing is certain — this team is on a mission to make history!
