All is set for the Second Semi Final clash between Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Black Stars of Ghana at the ongoing Africa Nations Championship in South Africa.

The two West African countries will rekindle one of the longest soccer rivalry in the continent of Africa at the Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein, by 7.45 pm, Nigerian time.

The home-based Super Eagles, making their tournament debut, are slightly on top of their opponents who have been far from impressive. Stephen Keshi’s side pitched themselves for the title after a miraculous comeback in the 4-3 win over Morocco in the quarter-final.They rallied from three goals down to beat the Atlas Lions. Nigeria have so far scored 12 goals and conceded eight.

Speaking about the goal shy attitude of his team, Ghana’s head coach, Maxwell Konadu said: “Our attack has been such that we only manage one goal per match but we have been defending very well. That for me is a sign of a team that is progressing and I don’t think it is a bad thing to defend very well.

“It is also important to score goals but in cases when you score one goal in a match and manage to defend it, that means you will win.”
