Remo Stars defender Sodiq Ismail has expressed his desire to provide more assists for the Super Eagles following his impressive performance in Nigeria's 2-1 victory over Ghana in the Unity Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
The match, played at the Gtech Community Stadium in London, saw Ismail deliver a brilliant cross that led to Cyriel Dessers' opening goal in the 14th minute, setting the tone for Nigeria's triumph over their West African rivals.
Reacting to a video of the goal on social media platform X, where commentators praised his pinpoint cross, Ismail wrote: "First of many Insha Allah (God willing)," indicating his ambition to continue contributing to the national team's attacking prowess.
The victory advances Eric Chelle's Super Eagles to the Unity Cup final, where they will face Jamaica's Reggae Boys on Saturday. The Jamaicans secured their place in the final earlier in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Ghana will contest the third-place playoff against Trinidad and Tobago's Soca Warriors, as both teams look to salvage pride after missing out on the final.
The Unity Cup 2025 has provided valuable competitive matches for the participating nations as they continue their preparations for upcoming international competitions, with Nigeria's performance against Ghana particularly encouraging for Super Eagles supporters.
