The home-based Super Eagles on Monday defeated the Black Stars of Ghana 2-0 in their last group game to progress to the semi-finals of the West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Cup of Nations.

The reports that the Super Eagles B team bounced back to winning ways after two successive draws against Mali and Guinea, beating bitter rivals and host Ghana at the Cape Coast Stadium.

Nigeria needed a win against the  already qualified Black Stars and the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) stars put up a brilliant performance.

The first half ended goalless with the Super Eagles home-based team dominating the half.

However, the goals started pouring nine minutes into the second half for Nigeria. NPFL top scorer Okpotu finally broke Nigeria’s goal drought in the tournament with a brilliant finish in the 54th minute.

Three minutes later, Plateau United’s Eneji doubled the lead after the Ghanaian defence switched off and were caught napping.

Eneji was voted the Man of the Match at the blast of the referee’s full-time whistle.

Victory for Nigeria meant Ghana and Nigeria advanced to the semi-final of the tournament from Group A.
