Although the Super Eagles played 1-1 in the second leg of the qualifiers at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja, it was not enough to see them through as they lost to the Black Stars of Ghana on away-goal rule. They failed to score any goal in the first leg that ended 0-0 on Friday in Ghana.
The visitors took the lead in Tuesday match through Thomas Partey as his long range effort squirmed under Francis Uzoho to give Ghana the lead.
