Despite loosing to Cote D' voire, the Super Eagles are through to the 2014 African Nations Championships(CHAN). The 2013 Nations cup winners have ealier, three weeks ago, walloped the Elephants 4-1, in a first leg match, played in Kaduna.

The second leg encounter was to be a hard nut to crack as the Ivorians needed to score a triplet and prevent the Eagles from scoring any, to make them equal in aggregate and win by a superior away goal.

It took only 7minutes of the first-half for the Elephants to get the first goal as Kevin Zougoula made a nice finish from Azubuike Egwueke's back-pass flop. The Ivorians were soon smiling as a penalty taking by Kevin Zougoula, made them two goals up in the 24th minute and made them need just a goal to clinch a win.

The Nigerians couldn't but hold their nerves to force the match to end in a 2-0 defeat, which gives them(Nigeria) a superior 4-3 aggregate win.

They also qualify to participate at the African Nations Champions(CHAN), which will be hosted by South Africa in 2014.
