FULL TIME: Nigeria 2-1 Ethiopia.
17:56 Gooooaaaal! An Ethiopian substitute, has grabbed one goal back for his country, raising their chances of scoring a last-minute equalizer.
17:43 Nigeria makes her first substitution of the match. OBAJE JOSHUA is substituted for Ibrahim Aliyu. 79′. Match still Nigeria 2- 0 Ethiopia
17:32 Behaylu ASSEFA is perhaps Ethiopia’s best player in this match. He has led several unsuccessful onslaughts against the Nigerian defence. Nigeria still leading 2-0 but the game and tackling has evened as the Ethiopians push hard for a comeback.
17:25 Second half is underway. The Ethiopians are out to score at all cost, attacking with full force, but the Nigerian side are fighting hard to retain the lead. A shot from Dawet Fekadu was saved by Agbim on the 11th minute of the second half.
Half Time: Nigeria 2-0 Ethiopia
16:53: As the first half draws closer to the end, the Ethiopians have tightened up their defence and making more attempts on the Nigerian goal side. An attempt by ASRAT MEGERSA of Ethiopia was wasted as Agbim saved the shot on the 37th minute.
16:43: GOOOOOOOAAAL! Nigeria now leading Ethiopia by two goals to nil. Uzochukwu UGONNA scored the second goal in the 30th minute with a header. He scored with an assist from Ejike Uzoenyi.
The 60,000 capacity Abuja stadium is scantily filled by a cheering crowd of about 5,000. Goal line still Nigeria 1-0 Ethiopia.
16:32: More than 20 minutes played so far. Nigeria having the upper hand in the match, leading with one goal and desperately seeking more, but wasting chances. So far, the Ethiopians have had one on-target attempt at the Nigerian goal.
16:24: The Nigeria Vs Ethiopia match has kicked off. Nigeria, host, got the first pass and the first goal too. Within the first five minutes of play, Nigeria got one freekick, two corner kicks.
Ifeanyi Ede, in jersey No. 20 scored Nigeria’s first goal, exactly five minutes into the match. He scored after dribbling three Ethiopian defenders.
16:14Both teams line up on the pitch and national anthems now being sung.
Nigeria is parading a totally new home-based Super Eagles against Wyalai Antelopes of Ethiopia. With the exit of the likes of Godfrey Oboabona, Sunday Mba, Gabriel Reuben, Papa Idris, Juwon Oshaniwa and many others who started the battle with the national team as home-based stars two years ago, Keshi has been forced to rely on new stars on the bloc and he insists they will not disappoint even as he quickly points out that the trophy should not be given to the Eagles just yet because of lack of experience.
