The Supersand Eagles had qualified for the semi - finals of the 2015 African Beach Soccer Championship before their hard fought&nbsp; 7 - 6 win against Ivory Coast on Thursday.<br /><br />Captain Isiaka Olawale and Emeka Ogbonna netted a brace each for Nigeria while Azeez, Bartholomew Ibenegbu and Adams Taiwo were also on target. <br /><br />The Supersand Eagles played the second and third period a man short following the dismissal of Igudia Godspower late in the first period.<br /><br />&ldquo;It was not even a handball at all. But I think we are going to appeal. The red card affected our game, &rdquo; says Isiaka Olawale to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />&ldquo;Godspower is one of our reliable defenders , but we could do nothing about it, we just had to carry on.<br /><br />&ldquo;We are going to approach the semi - final very well because the game is very important; that is the game that will give us a ticket to the World Cup.&rdquo; <br /><br />Nigeria topped their group and will now face the second - placed team in Group B on Saturday.<br /><br /><br />
