CHAN CHAN 2022 Qualifier: Black Galaxies Shatters CHAN Super Eagles Dream

Nigeria have now missed a back-to-back opportunity to play in the final of the Africa Nations Championship CHAN after losing to Ghana.

Although the Super Eagles of Nigeria, who play at home, put up a heroic fightback, they were unable to overcome the Black Galaxies of Ghana, who won on penalties, and were therefore disqualified from the 2022 Africa Nations Championship (CHAN).

Zulkifilu Muhammed and Chijioke Akuneto scored in the second half to force the game to penalties, erasing the Black Galaxies’ 2-0 first leg lead.

Nevertheless, the Black Galaxies recovered from their disappointment at giving up the lead and prevailed 5-4 on penalties.
