Nigeria have booked a place in next year's Fifa World Cup in Brazil after beating Ethiopia 2-0 (4-1 on aggregate) at the U. J. Esuene Stadium in Calabar on Saturday evening.


Needing only a draw to reach next summer's Mundial, the Super Eagles took an early lead against the visitors when Victor Moses converted a penalty kick with just 20 minutes into the game.

Late in the 2nd half Victor Obinna Nsofor doubled the score for Nigeria in the 81st minute (less than a minute after he came on as a substitute).

Although the Super Eagles were not at their imperious best, they held on to finish the second leg with 2-0 win over Ethiopia. The first leg result was 2-1 in favour Nigeria in Ethiopia last month.

Nigeria are the 22nd country to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.

Nigeria team has really changed from what it use to be. Congratulation to Nigerians.
