There was little in the way of clear-cut chances across the 90 minutes in Kumasi. Moses Simon having the best chance for Nigeria, but was denied in the second-half.

Nigerians are hopeful that the Super Eagles can turn up in style in the return fixture to beat the Ghanaians. And grab the ticket to represent Africa at this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
Wishing our boys good luck.
