Nigeria's Super Eagles edged out long-time rivals Ghana 2-1 in a spirited semi-final clash at the Unity Cup in London on Wednesday, setting up a showdown with Jamaica.
- Cyriel Dessers opened the scoring early for Nigeria.
- Ghana’s Razak Simpson conceded an own goal to make it 2-0 at halftime.
- The Black Stars fought back in the second half with a Thomas-Asante goal.
- Nigeria held firm despite late pressure to seal their place in the final.
Just like in their last meeting in 2024, the Super Eagles outplayed Ghana with another 2-1 victory. The first half belonged entirely to Nigeria, which looked sharper and more clinical. But the second half told a different story, with Ghana dominating possession and pulling one back.
Despite the pressure, Nigeria stood strong and now faces Jamaica on Saturday in what promises to be a diaspora-packed final.
Fans had mixed feelings. While many celebrated the win, others criticized second-half substitutions and the inclusion of underperforming veterans.
