The Super Eagles secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the 10-man Black Stars of Ghana with the match showcasing thrilling football action from start to finish.
Nigerian striker Cyriel Dessers opened the scoring for the Super Eagles with a well-taken penalty, setting the tone for an intense battle on the pitch.
Despite Ghana’s resilience, Nigeria extended their lead with a goal from super-sub Ademola Lookman, who made a significant impact after coming off the bench.
Lookman’s goal further solidified Nigeria’s dominance in the match, putting them in a commanding position after a beautiful build-up play for Finidi George’s men.
However, Ghana’s Black Stars refused to go down without a fight, as they managed to pull one back late in the game.
Jordan Ayew capitalised on a penalty opportunity, after a poor foul from Bright Osayi-Samuel, converting from 12 yards to give his team a glimmer of hope in the dying embers of the game.
Despite Ghana’s late surge, Nigeria’s Super Eagles held firm to secure the victory and boost Nigeria’s confidence as they prepare for future international competitions.
