The Super Eagles of Nigeria on Sunday 13th October, 2013 defeated Ethiopia 2-1 Addis Ababa in the first leg of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in Brazil.
The victory, of course did not come on a platter of Gold. Nigeria strived through sweat for it under excruciating humidity in the East African enclave.
The Ethiopians played with verve and zest. Very few pundits were startled by their performance. When both countries squared up in the 2013 Africa Cup of nations hosted in South Africa, it took two clinical spot kicks by one lone Liverpool striker, Victor Moses to topple the ‘stubborn’ Wyla Antelopes in a match that sparked Nigeria’s match to her third Nations Cup triumph.
