The Super Eagles of Nigeria defeated their West African rivals Ghana 2-1 in the semi-final of the Unity Cup tournament held in London on Sunday.

Nigeria dominated the first half of the encounter, scoring twice through Cyriel Dessers and Semi Ajayi to establish a comfortable lead before the break. The Black Stars responded in the second half with Thomas Asante finding the net to reduce the deficit, but it wasn't enough to prevent Nigeria's progression to the final.

Speaking after the match, Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, particularly in the first half.

"We played a great first half, second half we were tired," Chelle said. "We deserved our victory, but we have to improve."

The victory sets up a final showdown between Nigeria and Jamaica, scheduled for Saturday at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, London, where both teams will battle for the Unity Cup title.

This win continues the long-standing football rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana, with the Super Eagles gaining the upper hand in this latest encounter. The match also provided valuable competitive experience for the team under Coach Chelle's guidance as they prepare for upcoming international competitions.

Nigerian football fans will now look forward to the final against Jamaica, hoping the Super Eagles can secure the Unity Cup trophy with another strong performance.
