Nigeria’s Home-based Eagles secured a historic victory over Ghana’s Black Galaxies, winning 3-1 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo to book their place in the 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN). This marks a rare triumph for Nigeria in a rivalry where Ghana has often emerged victorious, signaling a turning point for the Super Eagles B team.
The match saw Nigeria dominate from the outset, with Sodiq Ismail breaking the deadlock in the 20th minute by capitalizing on Ghana’s defensive lapse. Nduka Junior quickly followed up with a second goal just three minutes later, and Saviour Isaac added a third in the 25th minute, giving Nigeria a commanding lead before halftime. Despite Ghana’s efforts to fight back, including a goal from Amakhona Stephen in the 71st minute, the Black Galaxies were unable to overturn the deficit.
