Nigeria to meet Cote d'Ivoire in quarter-final

The Super Eagles on Tuesday qualified for the quarter-final round of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations after defeating the Antelopes of Ethiopia 2-0 in the last Group C match.
Nigeria had to wait till the last game to secure qualification after it drew the first two group matches one goal apiece.
Ethiopia’s Sesay Basa’s red card may have been a huge turning point for the Super Eagles in the last group game.
The win, however, should spur on the Super Eagles who are now to take on one of Africa’s best teams, Cote d’Ivoire, in the quarter-final match.
