With a well played penalty by Victor Moses in the 20th minute and a fantastic free kick from substitute Nsofor after an error from the Ethiopian keeper in the 82nd minute Nigeria booked her place in Brazil 2014 thereby making Coach Keshi the first indigenous man to qualify his country for the World Cup after winning the Nations cup.
Keshi, as a player, skippered the Eagles to win the African Cup of Nations held in Tunisia in 1994. He then captained the team to qualify Nigeria for her debut appearance at the FIFA World Cup held in USA also in 1994. A record no other Eagles skipper has since equalled. Congrats to Keshi, Eagles and Nigerians.
Nigeria 2 Ethiopia 0
