The first half ended with a 3-0 scoreline in favor of the Olympic Eagles much to the delight of the home supporters at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba.

Nigeria started from where they stopped in the first half when Ibrahim Sunusi provided an assist for Sunday Faleye to score the fourth goal.

Sunusi, the 2019 NPFL top scorer, capped off a brilliant individual display by putting icing on the cake with a goal of his own to make it 5-0 in favor of Nigeria.

The Olympic Eagles thus qualified in grand style for the 2019 U-23 AFCON to be held in Egypt in November.

Nigeria are the defending champions of the competition after winning the first edition in Senegal in 2015.
