The age-long football rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana was rekindled on Thursday at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta in the second semi-final match of the 2010 WAFU competition.
Ghana almost went ahead in the ninth minute when they exploited the defensive high line of the Eagles but the final shot was too lame to beat Sunday Rotimi in goal for the Eagles. Nigeria replied with an exquisite lob in the 12th minute by Ejike Uzoenyi which clipped the cross bar. http://nigeriafans.cz.cc reports.
The first half started with the Black Stars with a chance to score in the first minute but the Ghanian player dallied on the ball and allowed the Eagles’ defenders to regroup. After that the Black Stars continued to test the Eagles defence as Abdul-Wasiu Showemimo showed signs of stage fright. The Eagles were not able to pass the ball very well in the first five minutes but they gradually settled to dominate the first stanza.
Ghana again exploited the high defensive line when in the 16th minute, when a player went one-on-one with Rotimi but his chip beat Rotimi and also the open goal. The first half continued as both teams cancelled themselves out in the middle of the pitch with stand-in midfielder, Adeyinka Adedeji, tried to feed the strikers. The first half thus ended 0-0.
