Aladje doubled the lead in the 34th minute when he tapped in from close range after Okani in goal for Nigeria spilled a cross.<\/p>\n

Olanrewaju Kayode failed to connect a chip from Michael Olaitan in the 40th minute, he was the culprit again when he fired wide four minutes later.<\/p>\n

Nigeria Captain Abdul Jeleel Ajagun scored Nigeria\u2019s first goal in the 57th minute after receiving a through pass from Olanrewju Kayode, he made it 2-2 with another goal in the 67th minute.<\/p>\n
