Nigeria’s Road To AFCON Final

Nigeria’s opening to the AFCON tournament was less than convincing despite the array of striking powers such as Victor Oismhen, Ademola Lookmam, Moses Simon and a host of others they managed a 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea,

A better result against hosts Ivory Coast courtesy of captain Troost Ekong and a 1-0 win in the final group stage match, thanks to Opa Sangante’s own goal, secured them the second spot in the group stage.

A strong 2-0 win against Cameroon in the round of 16 and another 1-0 win over Angola in the quarter-final saw them progress to the semi-final.

Nigeria managed to overcome South Africa in a penalty shootout with the help of an unlikely hero, Stanley Nwabali who saved Mokoena and Makgopa’s spot-kicks to send them to the AFCON final.
