Nigeria’s home-based Eagles on Saturday qualified for the 2024 Championship of African Nations competition following their massive victory over rival Ghana.
The first leg ended goalless which made the second more crucial and daisy for both sides.
Playing at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, the host dominated the game, and their efforts paid off in the 6th minute via Sadiq Ismail.
Two quickfire goals from Nduka Junior and Isaac Saviour put Nigeria 3-0 ahead under 30 minutes and put them in firm control going into the halftime.
The Black Galaxies came back a bit stronger in the second half and they were able to reduce the deficit in the 71st minute through Amakhona Stephen.
All their efforts to level up the game against Nigeria proved abortive as the game ended 3-1 in favour of the host.
