I watched the full 120minutes of the match and I gats say it was a very fiesty and tense encounter. Ekhigo Ehiosun of Warri Wolves (for now cos that guy is going places) stole the show with his superb 2 goals and excellent all round MOTM performance. . .I have not been this impressed by a home-based player in a long while. No 6 jerseyed Gege Soriola of Heartland was also solid in defence. He was v.confident and poised through out and was unbeatable in defence. I suspect he's just played his way into the main Super Eagles team. Dude in no 7 jersey for Nigeria [Ezuronye] was also v.good but he looks kinda old to me. All in all, it was a good performance and I'm happy for Siasia and the boys. Next up is Togo in the final. Lets go there. . . . . |

i didn't c d match from the beginin. i began watchin it just before the 2nd goal. but what i dont understand is why d ghanians were complainin viciously 2d ref after the match. pls, did i miss anything? how was d officiating?, |

@tjay007 To be fair, the officiating wasn't the best. In the run up to the penalty that led to Ghana's goal, a Ghanaian player was clear on goal and was fouled by Nigerian defender, Gege Soriola (who was on a yellow card) in the box, the ref gave the penalty to Ghana but didn't give Gege Soriola the [2nd] yellow card he deserved. Instead, he gave our goalie Sunday Rotimi who had nothing to do with the offense a yellow card. I mean, how could he give a penalty for a deliberate offense in the 18 and not book the defender that caused it? Also, we got a questionable penalty (it looked like a dive by Ekhigo Ehiosun) late in the 2nd half but to be fair to the referee he wouldn't have given it if not for the linesman that raised his flag to indicate a foul. . .like se God know se the penalty wasn't deserved, we missed the penalty lol. Finally, me thinks Victor Ezeji fouled the Ghanain defender in the run up to our 2nd goal and a freekick should have been given to Ghana. . .it's akin to how Germany scored the 3rd & winning goal against us in the Egypt 2009 U-20 World cup when Lukmam Haruna was brought down and the ref didn't give us a freekick.Well, what do I know. . .the ref knows best |

| , I laughed coz ANoTHER TERRORIST DROGBA has been born, in the person of EKHISON EHIOSUN. He is every inch the DROGBA of NIgeria. That guy is a sure bet for Super Eagles First Team. Congrat Super Eagles, U made my day yesterday, |

galek: True! Make I follow you laugh cos the guy (Ekhigho Ehiosun) na real terrorist. He's got good vision, goal sense, speed, dribbles well, a "forward always" player who faces defenders and takes them head-on, packs good shots in both legs and although not a tall player, a good nodder of the ball cos what lacks in height he makes up with a powerful leap. . .I was pleasantly surprised & pleased when he was beating the taller Ghanaian defenders in the 50-50 aerial battles. . . I was very impressed by his game against Liberia & Niger and I was blown away by his performance yesterday against Ghana. Ehiosun na baller. . .hope Warri Wolves won't sell him for peanuts and that he goes to a good club in Europe. |
