The Ghanaians need a draw with goals to pull through while Nigeria needs a win to qualify or a goalless draw which will drag both teams to extra time and subsequently penalties to determine the winner of both legs. Nigeria vs Ghana is scheduled to kick off by 6 pm (WAT) as the Super Eagles seek a seventh World Cup appearance. Manchester United of England legend, Patrice Evra, visited the popular Oshodi under bridge in Lagos State on Saturday, March 26, 2022, as part of the Chess in Slum initiative set up by Tunde Onakoya. The Chess in Slums programme aims at bringing celebrities and influential personalities to slums like the Oshodi underbridge to play chess with children and give them a sense of belonging in society. Evra was all smiles as he exchanged pleasantries with fans and participated in the event. Sources: Complete Sports Punch NG Featured Image Source: Punch Newspapers
