Nigeria’s Super Eagles are through to the 2014 African Nations Championships (CHAN) to be hosted by South Africa. The Super Eagles advanced on a 4-3 aggregate score despite losing the 2nd leg, final round qualifying game 0-2 to the Cote d’Ivoire at the Robert Chambroux stadium in Abidjan on Saturday.
A 4-1 first leg win in Kaduna 3 weeks previously had put Stephen Keshi’s troops on the box seat but the Ivoirians gave their West African neighbours a huge scare with an energetic start that fetched 2 goals inside the 1st 25 minutes.
Kevin Zougoula gave the Super Eagles their first fright when he capitalized on a wayward Azubuike Egwuekwe back-pass to smack home an opportunist effort past Chigozie Agbim in the 7th minute.
This will be the first time Nigeria will be participating at the CHAN.
