Nigeria B Secures CHAN Spot with Jollof Derby Win

Nigeria's B team, also known as the CHAN Eagles, has made a significant comeback by securing a spot in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) for the first time in six years. This achievement came after a thrilling 3-1 win over Ghana in the Jollof Derby.

The decisive match, held in Uyo, saw Nigeria dominate the first half with a flurry of three goals in a six-minute span. Ismaila Sodiq opened the scoring by springing the Ghanaian offside trap. Captain Junior Nduka doubled the score from a corner kick, and Saviour Isaac made it 3-0 after capitalizing on a defensive mix-up between Ghana's goalkeeper and defender.

Ghana managed to score a consolation goal through Stephen Amankona in the dying minutes of the game, but it was too late to change the outcome. This victory marks a significant milestone for Nigeria, as it is their first win over Ghana in CHAN competition.

Key performances came from goalkeeper Henry Ozoemena, midfielder Papa Daniel Mustapha, and captain Junior Nduka, who all played crucial roles in securing the win. Saviour Isaac's energy and relentless running were also pivotal in Nigeria's dominant first half.

Despite some questionable substitutions in the second half that allowed Ghana to gain momentum, Nigeria's defense held strong to secure the victory.
