WAFU: Rabiu Ali strike seals final berth for Super Eagles

The Kano Pillars midfielder struck a fine goal in the first half and that was enough to see off a disappointing Squirrels side 

Rabiu Ali’s strike sent Nigeria into the final of the Wafu Cup of Nations at the expense of 10-man Benin Republic, as Salisu Yusuf’s men ran out 1-0 winners in Cape Coast.

Much has been made of Nigeria’s reliance on Anthony Okpotu and Peter Eneji, but they proved they are no two-man team with an impressive display on Thursday.
