Nigeria's Super Eagles have emerged victorious in the 2025 Unity Cup final, defeating Jamaica in a penalty shootout after a pulsating 2-2 draw in regulation time on Saturday.

The match began with Moses Simon putting Nigeria ahead, finishing clinically from Cyriel Dessers' cross. However, Jamaica responded swiftly through Kaheim Dixon who equalized shortly after.

Samuel Chukwueze restored Nigeria's lead with an impressive solo effort, showcasing his skill and composure. Yet again, the Reggae Boys fought back, with Jon Russell finding the net in the 63rd minute to level the score at 2-2.

With no further goals in regulation time, the match proceeded to penalties where the Super Eagles held their nerve to secure victory and lift the trophy.

This triumph marks Nigeria's second consecutive Unity Cup title, further cementing their status as a formidable force in international football.

Prior to the final, there had been significant developments in the Nigerian camp. Coach Chelle made four changes to the lineup for the Jamaica clash, while veteran forward Ahmed Musa had departed the Super Eagles camp after making a substitute appearance against Ghana in an earlier match.

Before the final, Moses Simon had warned that the clash against Jamaica would not be a friendly affair, setting the tone for what proved to be an intensely competitive match.

Cyriel Dessers, who provided the assist for Nigeria's opening goal, had earlier praised Coach Chelle while expressing his ambition to secure a spot in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations squad.
