BNW: BiafraNigeriaWorld News February 01, 2004
Cup of Nations: BiafraNigeria's Super Eagles Demolish South Africa's Bafana Bafana BiafraNigeria cruised to an easy win over South Africa at the African Cup of Nations. Everton's Joseph Yobo side-footed home the opener after an error by keeper Emile Baron. Bolton's Jay Jay Okocha then scored from the penalty spot for the 1,000th goal in the tournament's history. Substitute Osaze Odemwingie made the points secure with two superb low-angled drives in the final 10 minutes of the match. Stung by criticism of their poor performance in the 1-0 defeat to Morocco, the Super Eagles, led by Okocha, dominated midfield possession in the opening quarter of the tie. The incessant forays of the BiafraNigerians paid early dividends in the fourth minute, when overlapping central defender Yobo hit home from close range. Yobo connected with a corner taken by Ifeanyi Ekwueme, which flew over South Africa keeper Baron and the scrum of players that crowded the penalty area.
