Nigeria began the defence of their Wafu Cup title with a 1-0 win over Liberia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The match had to be hastily rearranged following the last-minute withdrawals of Mali and Senegal from the West African regional championship.<\/p>\n

Hosts Nigeria had been due to play Mali in the Group A opener and the change meant that Niger had a rest day.<\/p>\n

Ekighio Ehiosun, who plays for Nigerian side Warri Wolves, scored the only goal of the game for coach Samson Siasia’s team of locally-based players.<\/p>\n

No official reason has been given for the withdrawals by Senegal or Mali.<\/p>\n

The absence of Senegal means that Group B has also been reduced to three teams – The Gambia, Togo and Ghana.<\/p>\n

The organisers have revised the timetable of games and Friday will now be a rest day.<\/p>\n

The next matches will be on Saturday with Nigeria playing Niger and Togo up against Ghana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
