Ghana and Nigeria renew their rivalry in the WAFU Cup of Nations semi-finals today with either side hopeful of reaching the finals.<\/p>\n
Thursday’s meeting tops the fixtures of the regional championship in Nigeria as Togo and Liberia play in the other game.<\/p>\n
For Nigeria coach, Samson Siasia, his side remains unfazed about the prospect of playing Ghana as David Duncan’s team are seen as the biggest threat to the Super Eagles’ title-winning ambitions.<\/p>\n
“Our objective is to get to the final. It doesn’t matter if we are playing Ghana or Togo,” the Nigeria coach said. “We are playing a match that we want to win, and who we play against is not the issue.<\/p>\n
“What is important is if we play the way we want to play and do the right things on the field.”<\/p>\n
The winners of the last-four fixtures will play in Saturday’s finals while the losers engage each other in a third-place play off on the same day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
