NIGERIA 4 MOZAMBIQUE 2: Rabiu Afolabi Hits Brace

Nigeria registered their first points at the 2014 African Nations Championship when they defeated Mozambique 4-2 in their Group A encounter at the Cape Town Stadium on Wednesday night.

Rabiu Ali netted a brace and the other goals came through Ede Ifeanyi and substitute Barnabas Imenger, while Dario Khan and Diogo were on target for Mozambique.

The Mambas opened the scoring in spectacular fashion in the 10th minute when Khan beat Chigozie Agbim with a dipping free kick from just outside the centre circle.
