…Demolish Liberia’s Lone Star 6-1
By EMMA NJOKU, Calabar
Nigeria’s Super Eagles, yesterday, whitewashed the Lone Star of Liberia 6-1 at the U.J. Esuene Stadium in Calabar to book a ticket to next year’s Africa Cup of Nations holding in South Africa.
It took less than a minute into the match for defender, Efe Ambrose, to put Nigeria ahead with a beautiful header off Victor Moses’ free kick after Ahmed Musa was fouled close to the Liberian penalty box.
The visitors, thereafter, switched the heat on the Eagles’ defence.
But it was the Nigerian team that drew the blood yet again, when Mikel Obi initiated a move that saw Emmanuel Emenike’s crossing scrambled into the net in the 37th minute for Nigeria’s second goal. Eagles went into the interval with the 2-0 advantage.
The Nigerian team began the second half on the same tempo as the first half, with Victor Moses grabbing his first goal in the national team to make it 3-0 against the Liberians barely two minutes into the second half.
Mikel capped his return to the national team with a perfect kick from the penalty spot in the 51st minute after the Liberian goalkeeper fouled goal-bound Nosa Igiebor.
Super substitute, Ike Uche, made it 5-1 for Nigeria in the 62nd minute, while Liberia’s consolation goal was scored by substitute, Wleh Patrick Ronaldinho, in the 80th minute.
Victor Moses completed the routing of the Lone Star in the 88th minute with his second goal to put final scores at 6-1.
Nigeria, thus, qualified for next year’s Nations Cup in South Africa on 8-2 aggregate following the 2-2 scores in the first leg in Monrovia.
well done supper eagle, more grease to ur elbows
WELL DONE BOYS
Keshi has delivered,Now they should start the preparetion of the nation cup in time to avoid execuses again,up super eagles..

That’s a good one…
Well done boyz, but don’t take the glory to your head and then fail to deliver in south africa, this is only the beginin of our rising. Up Eagles!!!
Mr journalist, aggregate scores is 8-3 simple mathematics. Kudos to the entire coaching crew and the players. Long live Nigeria.
Well done mikel now i know you are d king dat will lead nigeria to promise land
Well done guys!!!.The building of the new super eagles has just started, a lot of team blending still needs to be done in the teams defense,attack,midfield and the goaltenders anticipation is still not very good.Secondly the team still needs to develop its unique strong soccer character just like the Spanish senior team,they will seriously need this to win the nations cup,world cup qualifiers and the world cup proper.Shalom.
We are happy with what super ealgls play , there should tray as much as posible in south africa too.

Congratulations! The Super Eagles have finally qualified for the Nations Cup. They still need to improve on their performance so as to achieve greater.
Job weldone.we need to pray for them agaist injuries
Eagles must redeem our soccer image once again. The rating by FIFA is too poor. Congrats for the job well done against the Liberians. Keep it up!
CONGRATULATIONS.
I hate them, stupid boys
When last did 9ja score more than 2 in a match?
Up Keshi, up super eagle up Nigeria.
Well done boys.
well what can i say? Atleast Siasia would learn a lesson from this victory. You don’t gamble with an important match. Keshi knew he needed mikel obi after the 2-2 draw away, even if he had to swallow his pride to recall mikel. Siasia had issues with enyama last year, but becos of pride he failed! Moral lesson: pride goes before a fall. Up super Eagles!
Keshi have delived the ticket. Moses,Mikel,Ike Uche and others proves AFRICA BEST by beating Liberia 6-0.
This just part 1,however welldone boys

Wish to congratulate the Eagles 4 their success over Liberia who were just white elephants @ the field. They boasted to whitewash the Eagles by saying that the Eagles are living by their past glory. Congratulations to Super Eagles of Nigeria. Over an awesome victory.

This is both psychological and emotional relief to the average soccer loving Nigeria. It would have been heart-breaking if reverse happened to be the case. KUDOS MY SUPER EAGLES.
