Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Nigeria international Chinedu Obasi called out the Super Eagles to rise to the occasion when it matters the most ahead of the all-important World Cup play-offs.

Nigeria and their eternal enemies Ghana will trade tackles for the umpteenth time, this time around for a slot at the 2022 World Cup.

With the Black Stars failing to shine at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations coupled with a makeshift technical team, many argue the latest battle of the two West African giants might just swing in favour of Nigeria.

But sharing his opinion ahead of the game, Chindedu Obasi contends occasionally his nation fails to come clutch in such tough encounters but hopes this time around Augustine Eguavoen's charges will come good.
