A nervy first half saw Nigeria take the lead through Cyriel Dessers, who scored inside the opening quarter of an hour.
The Super Eagles doubled their lead as Seyi Ajayi’s header went in off Razak Simpson for an own goal. A brilliant save from Benjamin Asare and a clearance off the line denied Wilfried Ndidi from scoring a third before halftime.
Brandon Thomas Asante found himself in a good place to connect and score with Ebenezer Annan’s cross, reducing the deficit.
The Black Stars then created a number of decent chances in search of the leveler, with opportunities falling to Jordan Ayew, Christopher Bonsu Baah, and Mohammed Gadafi Fuseini, but they failed to score as Nigeria held on to win the game.
Coach Otto Addo’s boys will face Trinidad and Tobago in the third-place game on Saturday, May 31, 2025
