Morocco 3 Nigeria 4 (2014 CHAN)

Nigerians view South Africa as a fertile land to harvest football trophies. Well, they have every reason to, having beaten the South Africans severally right in front of their fans and winning the Africa Cup of Nations, African Women Championship and the African Youth Championship amongst others in Madiba’s land.

Looking to repeat their 2013 AFCON victory in the home-based edition known as African Nations Championship, Nigeria defeated Bafana Bafana 3-1 in Group A to set up a quarter-final clash against Morocco’s Atlas Lions.

A Mohsine Moutouali brace and an Iajour Mouhssine strike gave the Lions a 3-0 lead before the break.

But whatever coach Stephen Keshi told his boys during the break appeared to have worked as midfielder Ugonna Uzochukwu began the titanic comeback for the Nigerians with a strike four minutes into the second half.

Rabiu Ali smashed home the Eagles’ second from the edge of the box in the 56th minute, the exciting Enugu Rangers winger, Ejike Uzoenyi, then completed the extraordinary comeback for the Eagles in the 90th minute, when his shot from outside the box beat the Moroccan keeper Nabil Lamyarheri.

Substitute Aliyu Ibrahim sealed the historic win in the 11th minute of extra time. Lamyarheri fumbled a tricky long ball from Uzoenyi and Ibrahim gladly shot into an empty net amidst a sea of Moroccan legs to spark up rapturous celebrations on the Nigerian bench and on the stands.

But where did Keshi go wrong.

This were the guys he won the cup with. Why did he discard them. You never throw away a winning squad.
