Thus, their reward is a meeting with Zambia over two legs, with the first leg scheduled to take place in Abuja in the next two weeks.

In a tight first half, Warri Wolves striker Etebo Oghenekaro had the best opportunity to give Nigeria the lead, but he ballooned his shot in the 21st minute over the bar.

Eight minutes later, Mbouogho could have given the visitors a surprise lead before the Dream Team defense cleared the danger.

But the Nigeria Under 23s finally broke the deadlock after 68 minutes thanks to a wonder strike from Oduduwa Segun, three minutes after Azubuike had a pop from long - range.

Shooting Stars striker Junior Ajayi completed the scoring three minutes from time.
