The sequence of events leading to the goal epitomised the Super Eagles' skill and cohesion on the pitch. It all began in Nigeria's defensive third, where Raphael Onyedika initiated a slick passing move that carved through Ghana's defense with precision and finesse.

As the ball traversed the length of the pitch, Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi displayed exquisite control and vision, delicately setting up Lookman with a perfectly weighted flick inside Ghana's box. 

Lookman, exhibiting composure and clinical finishing, made no mistake from close range, slotting the ball past the goalkeeper to double Nigeria's lead in the 84th minute.

Notably, this victory marked Nigeria's first win over the 10-man Black Stars in 18 years, adding a special significance to the occasion.

The win not only serves as a source of pride for Nigerian football but also signals the team's resurgence and determination to reclaim their dominance in African football.

With a display of skill, teamwork, and resilience, the Super Eagles have once again showcased why they are a force to be reckoned with on the international stage.
