⚽ Unity Cup: Super Eagles Edge Ghana 2–1 in Thrilling Semi-Final 🇳🇬
It was fireworks in London as our Super Eagles of Nigeria claimed a sweet 2–1 victory over Ghana in the semi-finals of the Unity Cup! 🎉 The match, played at the Gtech Community Stadium, had everything — goals, drama, and pure football magic.
Cyriel Dessers got things started early in the 14th minute with a sharp finish after a beautiful setup from debutant Sodiq Ismail. Moments later, a dangerous free-kick from Samuel Chukwueze forced a Ghanaian defender, Razak Simpson, into scoring an own goal. That gave Nigeria a comfortable 2–0 lead heading into halftime.
But Ghana didn’t give up easily. In the second half, Brandon Thomas-Asante pulled one back for the Black Stars, keeping the tension high till the final whistle. Still, Nigeria’s defence held strong, booking us a spot in the final against Jamaica! 💪
