Nigeria secured a morale-boosting victory over Ghana in a closely contested friendly match, despite missing key players like Victor Osimhen, Ekong and Zanusi and co.
Cyriel Dessers and Ademola Lookman found the net for Nigeria, while Ghana’s hopes were dampened by Jerome Opoku’s red card. Jordan Ayew’s late penalty for Ghana couldn’t salvage a draw.
The win comes as a welcome relief for Nigeria after their recent Africa Cup of Nations final defeat, with interim coach Finidi George eyeing a permanent role.
Meanwhile, Ghana faces another setback following their disappointing AFCON campaign, but there are signs of hope under returning coach Otto Addo despite missing key players.
