‎Nigeria’s Super Eagles retained the Unity Cup competition by thrashing the Reggae Boys of Jamaica 3-0 at The Valley in England.

‎The West African nation had taken out the Warriors of Zimbabwe by 2-0 in the semi-final last week to qualify for the final.

‎

‎During the final, which was played on Saturday, saw the Super Eagles begin dominantly, taking the lead just three minutes in.

‎

‎Alhassan Yusuf opened the scoring with a perfect right-footed finish.

‎

‎After the break, Eric Chelle’s men doubled their advantage with a header from Terem Moffi in the centre of the box, following a pinpoint delivery from Femi Azeez.

‎

‎In stoppage time, after dominating Jamaica throughout the match, Yusuf sealed the victory for Nigeria with his second goal, assisted by Philip Otele.

‎

‎Eric Chelle and the Super Eagles successfully defended their Unity Cup crown against the Reggae Boyz, while Zimbabwe secured third place after edging India 1-0.

‎

‎The victory also means Nigeria remains the champion in all four editions of the Unity Cup since the competition began in 2002.
