Despite a dramatic fight back from the home-based Super Eagles of Nigeria, it was not to be as the Salisu Yusuf-led side lost on penalties to the Black Galaxies of Ghana and miss out on qualification for the 2022 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN).
The Super Eagles have failed to qualify for next year’s biennial African football showpiece slated for Algeria.
Ghana have qualified for the 2023 African Nations Championship after defeating Nigeria 5-4 on penalties in the second leg of their second round qualifying tie.
The Super Eagles had cancelled out the Black Galaxies’ two-goal advantage, however, they failed to scale through from kicks from the penalty mark.
