Nigeria out of All Africa Games soccer: Ghana beat Dream Team 2-0
Headlines, Soccer, Sports Sunday, July 10th, 2011
NIGERIA’s Dream Team V will for the second consecutive time be missing in action at the male football event of the All Africa Games after losing 0-2 to the Black Meteors of Ghana to miss the ticket to Maputo 2011 on away goals’ rule as the two-legged game ended on 3-3 goal aggregate.
With a 3-1 first leg advantage, the Austin Eguavoen tutored lads yesterday faltered against the Ghanaians before a not-too impressive fan turn-out at the Baba Yara Stadium, Kumasi.
Goals by Emmanuel Agyemang in the 10th minute and Richard Mpong in the 70th minute were enough to kill the dream of the Nigerian team and earned the Black Meteors a ticket to Maputo 2011.
According to agency reports, the Dream Team failed to play purposeful football right from the blast of whistle, as the Ghanaians were overwhelming all through.
It will be recalled that Ghana also stopped Nigeria from qualifying for the men’s soccer event of the last All Africa Games, Algiers 2007.
