Ghana's Black Galaxies failed to book a spot in the upcoming 2025 Championship of African Nations (CHAN) tournament after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Nigeria on Saturday.
Following Sunday's first leg draw in Ghana, there was a lot at stake as both sides battled for a ticket to the CHAN tournament.
However, it was the home side who shot themselves ahead after 19 minutes: a long ball over Ghana's defence sent forward Ismaila Sodiq through on goal before he raced clear of Ghana's backline to strike the ball past Ghana's goalkeeper, Benjamin Asare.
Three minutes later, Nigeria doubled their lead as a goalmouth scramble saw Super Eagles B captain Nduka Junior prod home from close range to put Nigeria two-up.
