In the 54th minute, Nigeria got their first goal through Okpotu who received a pass in the box and held off Ghanaian defender Vincent Atinga before slotting home.

Plateau United’s Peter Eneji doubled Nigeria’s lead three minutes later, pouncing on a ball in the box to finish past Ghanaian goalkeeper Joseph.

Eneji was voted Man of the Match.

With five points, Nigeria finished Group A in second place behind Ghana who have six points. Both sides have progressed to the semi-finals.
