Despite a dramatic fight back from the home-based Super Eagles of Nigeria, it was not to be as they lost on penalties to the Black Galaxies of Ghana and miss out on qualification for the 2022 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN).
The Black Galaxies surrendered their 2-0 first leg lead as Zulkifilu Muhammed and Chijioke Akuneto scored in the second half to drag the game to penalties.
However, the Black Galaxies picked themselves up from the disappointment of surrendering their lead and won 5-4 on penalties.
The Black Galaxies would represent West Africa at the 2023 CHAN scheduled to take place in Algeria.
The result also means that Ghana has eliminated Nigeria twice at the MKO Abiola Stadium.
The Ghanaians beat the Super Eagles on aggregate to take a ticket to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
