Super Eagles draw Ghana in crucial World Cup qualifier
The Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to record a single shot on target against the Black Stars of Ghana at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on Friday but managed to leave with a respectable draw.
After all the pre-game hype died down at kick-off, expectations were high as the Eagles paraded a full-strength squad. The Ghanaians though seemed up for it all night and looked to trouble Francis Uzoho in goal all night.
Jordan Ayew was a constant threat up front for the Black Stars and after the game, the Ghanaians were seen to be visibly delighted with the result and their performance.
The final round of the World Cup qualifying playoff fixture will now be decided at the MKO Stadium In Abuja on Tuesday.
