Nigeria will not be at the 2022 World Cup, following a 1-1 draw with Ghana on Tuesday, March 29, 2022.

The Super Eagles failed to defeat the Black Stars in Kumasi, as they were only able to draw 0-0.

In the reverse leg played at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, the visitors took the lead through Thomas Partey.

The Arsenal midfielder saw his long-range effort squirm under Francis Uzoho to give Ghana the lead.

However, Nigeria drew level, after VAR awarded a penalty for a foul on Ademola Lookman. Captain William Troost-Ekong stepped up to make it 1-1.

There were no goals in the second half and the Black Stars qualified on away goals.

No player or coach from the Nigeria squad spoke to reporters after they failed to qualify.

Angry supporters stormed the pitch to attack Ghanaian fans and players, destroying equipment and properties, as they showed their frustration in protest.

There was also no appearance by any player or even the head coach, Augustine Eguavoen, in the post-match press conference.

The team bus also did not leave the stadium until almost two hours after the game ended.
