“I will never get carried away with this success. I will keep putting in my best, and in every game I’m ready to better my best,” Harcourt said after the game.

His penalty save gave Nigeria an early edge in the shootout, which the Flying Eagles capitalized on to secure a place in the final.
With the U20 World Cup approaching, Harcourt’s form is seen as a key asset for the Nigerian team.
He has been praised for his maturity, reflexes, and mental strength in high-pressure situations.
Nigeria will now face the winner of the other semi-final in the WAFU B U20 final later this week.
