Super Eagles Soar Over Black Stars in Friendly, Fans Hail Redemption and New Coach
The Super Eagles of Nigeria secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Ghana in an international friendly on Friday, March 22nd, 2024, in Morocco. This win marks a significant moment for Nigerian football fans, as it’s their first victory against the Black Stars since 2006.
The match saw Ademola Lookman (Atalanta) and Cyriel Dessers (Rangers) score for the Eagles, who dominated most of the game despite playing with 10 men after a red card to Ghanaian defender Jerome Opoku early in the second half.

The win sparked a frenzy on social media, with the Super Eagles trending as the most talked-about team. This victory reignited the long-standing rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana, generating a buzz that echoed across online platforms.

He played a pivotal role in the win, setting up Lookman’s decisive goal. This strong showing has earned him praise from fans on social media.
Lookman Maintains Hot Streak
Continuing his impressive goalscoring form from the AFCON, Lookman also trended online. His goal against Ghana further solidified his position as a key player for the national team.
Calls for Finidi to Stay
Following the impressive win, Nigerian fans have overwhelmingly expressed their desire to see Finidi George remain as the Super Eagles coach. This sentiment reflects the positive impact he has had on the team in such a short period.
The victory over Ghana serves as a significant step forward for the Super Eagles. With fans behind them and a new coach showing promise, the future of Nigerian football looks bright.
