In a compelling exhibition match held in Marrakech, Morocco, on Friday, the Nigerian national football team secured a 2-1 triumph against their Ghanaian counterparts.
Amidst the FIFA international break, the neighboring West African nations seized the opportunity to engage in a showdown on the pitch.
From the onset, the Super Eagles asserted their dominance, seizing the lead with a precise strike by Cyril Dessers, who expertly converted a penalty kick in the 38th minute.
Despite numerous opportunities, Nigeria, under the guidance of Coach Finidi George, struggled to capitalize further, as both Dessers and Kelechi Iheanacho squandered chances.
However, the tide turned in the second half when Alex Iwobi orchestrated a pivotal play, delivering a pinpoint pass to Ademola Lookman, who delivered a powerful finish, doubling Nigeria’s lead.
Though Jordan Ayew managed to narrow the deficit in the dying moments, it wasn’t enough to alter the outcome.
Looking ahead, the Eagles are slated to take on Mali in yet another friendly encounter in just four days.
