Super Eagles of Nigeria defeated the Black Stars of Ghana 2-1 on Wednesday night to advance to the final of the Unity Cup in London.
Goals from Cyriel Dessers and an own goal from a Ghanaian defender was enough to complete the job for Nigeria.
Dessers opened the scoring for the Eagles in the 14th minute with a clinical finish, assisted by Sodiq Ismail.
