Nigeria’s Super Eagles have failed to pick one of the tickets for the Qatar 2022 World Cup after playing a 1-1 draw with visiting Black Stars of Ghana in Abuja.
The Ghanaians, who were forced to a barren draw last Friday in their backyard, stunned the capacity crowd at the 60,000-seater Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja, with an early goal by skipper Thomas Partey.
Hope rose anew when his opposite number William Troost-Ekong equalized from the penalty spot but the visitors absorbed every pressure put on the by super eagles till the end of the stipulated time of play.
The away goal rule in place, Ghana picked the sole ticket in the group as their lone goal amounts to two.
