CHAN 2014: Lady Luck Deserts Super Eagles, Lose To Ghana On Penalties
10-man Ghana stretched Super Eagles to win 4-1 via penalties on Wednesday night in the second semi finals of the on-going African Nations Championship.<br /><br />Earlier in the day, Libya needed the demon known as penalty to dispatch Warriors of Zimbabwe to progress to the final of the competition.<br /><br />Aliyu Ibrahim hit the post for the Super Eagles in the first half after a clever corner routine.<br /><br />Ghana midfielder Bansey chested down the ball just outside the ball before firing a volley just wide of Chigozie Agbim\'s left post. <br /><br />It was a scary time for Super Eagles fans as it was the first chance of the match.<br /><br />Eagles had the chance to win the game when Kwabina Adusei was sent off after he received a second yellow card for a foul on Ibrahim, but the Stephen Keshi led boys failed to capitalise. <br /><br />Barnabas Immenger was wasteful in front of goal as he missed a through ball from Ejike Uzoenyi and Shehu Abdullahi toe-poked a Solomon Kwambe cross over from close range.<br /><br />The impressive Adam saved an Immenger goal bound effort. He was the hero in the shootouts.<br /><br />Nigeria almost won it when Adam denied the Super Eagles with a world class save in the 120th minute of action.
