Africa Cup of Nations: Super Eagles fly to last Eight - January 20,2010

"All Eyez on Me" Osaze Odimwingie made good that Tupac expression by scoring twice in a must win game. Osaze struck in the 45^th minute to give the Super Eagles a 1-0 lead at half time.

 Not only has Osaze become the key player in Shabu Amodu’s coached Super Eagle’s team, but has also proved to be the new talisman, establishing himself in every department for Super Eagles.

The Super Eagles lost their opening game to the defending champions’ pharaohs of Egypt before narrowly beating lowly rated Benin side 1-0.

So in today’s match the Nigeria knew a draw will see them to the quarter final, never the less went for the kill to save their head from over 150 millions Nigerians home or abroad who are still disappointed with under par performance from their once darling team.

After giving the eagles their lead in the first half, Wingie increased his side lead to 2-0 by scoring his second for the night. Martin who came in as substitute sealed the match for the Super Eagles by scoring the third.

With victory the Nigeria team is now in the last eight.
