Cyriel Dessers and Ademola Lookman emerged as the heroes for the Nigerian Super Eagles as they secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Ghanaian Black Stars in an exhilarating international friendly clash held in Marrakech, Morocco.
In their inaugural match since clinching the runner-up spot at the African Cup of Nations back in February, the Eagles displayed dominance for much of the game. Dessers’ clinical finish and Lookman’s impactful substitution turned the tide in Nigeria’s favor, putting them ahead on the scoreboard.
Despite the Eagles’ commendable performance, the Ghanaian side managed to claw back into contention with a late penalty converted by Jordan Ayew, adding a touch of drama to the encounter. Nonetheless, Nigeria held firm, securing a well-deserved victory to kickstart their post-AFCON campaign on a winning note.
