Nigeria defeats Mozambique,needs to defeat South Africa

     Nigeria CHAN Eagles who are in South Africa for the African Nations Championship(CHAN 2014) recorded their first win in the competition over Mozambique.
     On the 10th minute,Mozambique's Dario Khan scored and on the 11th minute Ede equalized for Nigeria.
On the 13th minute,Rabiu Ali score his first of his double but Mozambique equalized on a fast break.
The team went on Half-time with a scoreline of 1-1,then after the half time Rabiu Ali on the 54th minute gave Nigeria the lead again and this time Keshi's boys tried to hold on to the lead and then Imerger scored at the dying minutes to guarantee that Nigeria gets their first points.
      Nigeria next opponent will be South Africa after the host drew 1-1 with mali.It will be recalled that the Super Eagles(team A) defeated South African in the Madella Challenge 2-0 last year,August 14th precisely,a game which went into Half time goaless before Nwofor came off the bench to give Nigerians victory with 2 spectacular goals.They will be looking for a revenge and there is no other better way to seek that than in a high rated competition.Super(CHAN) Eagles need to defeat South Africa to be sure of a place in the next stage,as a draw will be dangerous both in FIFA rankings and on our status as Africa Champions.
      Can they do this?Only time will tell.
