The second half however saw the awakening of the Eagles when in the 63rd minute Gbolahan Salami stuck in Nigeria's first goal, then in the 79th minute Odion Ighalo extended Nigeria's lead from the penalty spot, after being brought down in the eitheen yard box.
Nigeria's Ogenyi Onazi during the match was sent off for a rough challenge on a Chad player.
