Nigeria vs Ghana LIVE!

Nigeria restored some confidence with a narrow friendly win over West African rivals Ghana in Friday’s friendly match in Marrakesh, despite the absence of Victor Osimhen. Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers netted a first-half penalty awarded for handball, with Ademola Lookman also firing home late off the bench after the Black Stars had been reduced to 10 men following the dismissal of Jerome Opoku.

Crystal Palace’s Jordan Ayew almost set up a grandstand finish with his cool stoppage-time penalty after Bright Osayi-Samuel had brought down Antoine Semenyo, but there was not enough time for spirited Ghana to find a last-gasp equaliser in an entertaining showdown in Morocco. Victory over their rivals will give Nigeria an undoubted lift after last month’s galling Africa Cup of Nations final defeat by hosts Ivory Coast, with interim coach and Super Eagles legend Finidi George hoping to earn the full-time manager’s job in the weeks ahead.

Another defeat for Ghana to follow their latest abysmal AFCON campaign in which they crashed out in the group stage in embarrassing fashion again, but an experimental side missing several key names gave plenty of reasons for cautious optimism for returning coach Otto Addo ahead of Tuesday’s meeting with Uganda.
