Nigeria Super Eagles defeated the Black Stars of Ghana in the 2025 Unity Cup in London on Wednesday night, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The Super Eagles won 2-1 at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, London, to set up the final game against Jamaica.

Two first-half goals from forward Cyriel Dessers and an own goal ensured the win for the three-time winners of the African Nations Cup.

A fine cross from Ismaila Sodiq was well chested by Dessers, who made no mistake from the center of the box to put the ball beyond the goalkeeper in the 14th minute.

Five minutes later, the scoreline became 2-0 after an own goal from Razak  Simpson as the Eagles ended the half comfortably.

Ebenezer Annan delivered a brilliant cross into the box, and Brandon Thomas-Asante finished it off to score his first goal for Ghana to reduce the deficit to 70 minutes.

The Super Eagles progress to the final to play Jamaica while Ghana play Trinidad & Tobago in the third-place match on Saturday.
