2014 WORLD CUP: KESHI PAYS TRIBUTE TO ETHIOPIA

Nigeria has taken a significant step toward qualifying for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil following a 2-1 victory against Ethiopia. Emmanuel Emeniké scored both goals for the Super Eagles. Coach Stephen Keshi expressed satisfaction with Emeniké’s performance and acknowledged Ethiopia’s capability as a team. Despite facing difficulties on a less-than-ideal pitch and dealing with enthusiastic Ethiopian fans, Nigeria secured a crucial win. The second leg of the qualifier is scheduled to take place in Calabar, Nigeria, next month, where the Super Eagles will aim to maintain their advantage.
