Super Eagles Qualify for Brazil 2014


The Super Eagles dominated on Saturday and predictably qualified for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

The African champions defeated the Walya Antelopes of Ethiopia 2-0 at the U.J Esuene Stadium in Calabar.
Victor Moses and substitute Victor Obinna Nsofor were the heroes for Nigeria.
Moses converted a 20th minute penalty to put Super Eagles, who had earlier defeated the Ethiopians 2-1 in Adiss Ababa, ahead on 3-1 aggregate.

Nsofor, who plays for Lokomotiv Moscow in the Russian Premier League, stunned the East Africans when he fired home a superb free- kick in the 82nd minute to send the packed U.J Esuene Stadium into celebration.
Nigeria thus qualified for next year’s global soccer fiesta on 4-1 aggregate.
