Mar 29, 2022 — Nigeria's hosting of Ghana at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja will not be broadcast on television in the UK, but it can be streamed ...

The Super Eagles took an early lead when Mutiu Adepoju, the former Real Sociedad player, found the back of the net in the 11th minute. [37] Abedi Pele, in the dying moments of the first half, equalised for Ghana with a header, ensuring that the Black Stars entered halftime on level terms. [37][38] Eight minutes into the second half, Prince Polley, the former Asante Kotoko S. C. forward, struck a first-time shot in the box to put Ghana ahead. In the VIP section, there was chaos as jubilant Ghanaian supporters tried to capture pictures of dejected Nigerian officials. [34] After the match, a stunned Super Eagles manager, Austin Eguavoen, remarked, "I've never seen an African team do that to Nigeria before. They stopped us from playing from the rear, and when we can't do that we get flustered. I have to congratulate Ghana; they were tactically and technically very, very strong. " A frustrated Nigerian journalist pointed out that this was Nigeria's most significant defeat since their loss to Denmark by the same score in the 1998 World Cup, suggesting that perhaps the Super Eagles hadn't taken the match seriously. An earlier African Footballer of the Year Golden Ball award was given out between 1970 and 1994 by France Football magazine. France Football award (1970–1994), Afrique Football award (Etoile d'Or) (1991–2003) / CAF award (1992–present) 6[note 7] 5[note 8] 8[note 9] 6[note 10] 7[note 11] 10[note 12] 21 BBC African Sports Personality of the Year[edit] The BBC African Sports Personality of the Year (previously known as the BBC African Sports Star of the Year and the BBC African Footballer of the Year) was an annual award given to the best African sports personality of the year as voted by the BBC radio listeners. BBC African Sports Personality of the Year 5[note 13] 5[note 14] Statistics[edit] Overall[edit] Nigeria and Ghana have played 56 times in all tournaments, including friendly matches. Victor Agali opened the scoring with a goal just two minutes into the game, and Tijani Babangida added two more goals in the first half. [44][45][46] The match took an interesting turn when Ghana's goalkeeper, Osei Boateng, was shown a red card, leaving Ghana with no available substitutions. This forced an outfield player, Emmanuel Osei Kuffour, to take on the role of goalkeeper for the remainder of the game. [44][45][46] This win ended Ghana's 17-year unbeaten run against Nigeria, [42] and Nigeria subsequently became the eighth team to secure qualification for the 32-team tournament, while Ghana would have to wait four more years for a World Cup berth. [44][45][46] 2007 friendly at Brentford (Celebratory pitch invasions)[edit] On 6 February 2007, both teams met in a friendly encounter at Griffin Park in Brentford. Prior to the game, Ghana had not beaten Nigeria in the last 15 years, after nine attempts. The kick-off for the match was delayed by 35 minutes to accommodate approximately 6, 000 ticketholders and deal with numerous non-ticket-holders attempting to enter without permission. The security staff at the venue encountered challenges, including interactions with high-profile individuals like Nigerian sports ministers, ambassadors, FA officials, and even relatives of players. Despite the chaos, the Nigerian team managed to arrive just 10 minutes before the scheduled start of the game. Eguavoen countered, saying, "We took this match very seriously. I had agreed with Mikel that I would only play him for 60 minutes but there was no way I was going to take him off with us 3-0 down, and I had planned not to use Yakubu at all, but I couldn't leave him on the bench with what was happening. "[34] This result ended Nigeria's 15-year unbeaten run against Ghana. [30] 2008 Africa Cup of Nations (Celebration mockery)[edit] During the 2008 African Cup, the Black Stars of Ghana faced off against the Nigerian Super Eagles in the quarterfinals. Nigeria, not to be outdone, followed suit, albeit with less success. Despite their disparate histories, Nigeria was able to defeat their fledgling opponents 5–0 at home. For the rest of the 1950s, the two teams were fairly evenly matched, generally swapping victories on their own turfs, but Ghana would go on to dominate the tournament between the 1960s and the early 2000s, winning the Africa Cup of Nations four times to Nigeria's two. Meanwhile, Nigeria would have more success in intercontinental play, qualifying for the FIFA World Cup many times and reaching the greatest FIFA ranking in Africa of No. 5 in the world in 1994. [34] In the match, George Abbey received a warning from the referee for fouling Michael Essien early on. Essien also made a strong tackle in front of Nigerian fans, leading to “Ghana must go” chants referencing the historical xenophobic episode in the 1980s when Nigerians forced many Ghanaians to leave their country. [34] Nigeria lost the game 4–1. Players on the score sheet included Laryea Kingston, Sulley Muntari, Junior Agogo, and Joetex Asamoah Frimpong for Ghana and Taye Taiwo for Nigeria. [34][30] Each Ghanaian goal was marked by a pitch invasion from the excited Ghanaian fans. Both matches played between the two sides during the life of the tournament were won by Ghana by a combined score of 8–0. 1961–67 Azikiwe Cup[edit] The figurative successor to the Jalco Cup, the Azikiwe Cup was named for Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, who was Nigeria's first postcolonial president. The tournament was initially contested under the same rotating, single match, format as the Jalco Cup, but was later switched to an aggregate home and away setup with each team hosting one match apiece. Unlike the Jalco Cup, the teams did not share the cup in the event of a tie under the single leg format, but rather the cup returned to the nation that had held it. [6][7] The two sides often meet in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournaments, Olympic games, and WAFU tournaments. Apart from the AFCON Final, it is one of Africa's most important national football matches and one of the most watched sporting events. [8][9][10] The rivalry is considered one of the most intense in sports. [11][12] This high-octane match has seen remarkable goal celebrations from both teams, with the opposition frequently mocked. [13] Ghana leads Nigeria in competitive match head-to-head results with 25 victories and 19 draws. Is Ghana vs Nigeria on TV?
