Nigeria 3-1 Ghana: Black Meteors Lose In First Leg

A first half strike on the stroke of halftime by midfielder Rabiu Mohammed appears just not enough as Ghana’s Under-23 loses 3-1 against Nigeria in an All Africa Games final qualifying round first leg tie.

The Udinese player struck from a melee to shock the Dream Team V but has responded in smashing fashion at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium,in Benin City.

Villarreal ace Mubarak Wakaso glided in a cross from the left flank and the Nigeria defence struggled to clear.

Centre-back Daniel Adoo has booked for a rough tackle.

Nigeria have made scoring moves but lack the cutting edge to turn their possession into penetration.

Daniel Agyei-Jonathan Mensah, David Addy, Daniel Addo, Daniel Opare-Emmanuel Agyeman-Badu, Afriyie Acquah, Rabiu Mohammed, Samuel Inkoom, Mubarak Wakaso-Dominic Adiyiah.
