Nigeria scraped into the African Nations Cup quarter-finals on goal difference after beating Benin 2-0 on Tuesday to set up an appetising clash with hosts and arch-rivals Ghana. The Super Eagles pipped Mali, who were thumped 3-0 by Ivory Coast in the other Group B game, after both finished level on four points.
Captain Didier Drogba was on target as the Ivorians, already qualified, completed a clean sweep in the group. Off the field, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) handed a dossier on attempted match-fixing to Ghanaian police after Benin and Namibia last week said they were approached by an unidentified man and offered money to throw games.
