SUNDAY Mba again destroyed Cote d’Ivoire on Saturday in a 2014 CHAN qualifier just as he did at the AFCON in February.
The
Super Eagles took a massive 4-1 advantage to Abidjan with Mba grabbing a brace
and assisting in the two other goals by the home team inside a packed Ahmadu
Bello Stadium in Kaduna.
The
Super Eagles, aiming to qualify for the first time for the CHAN for local
league players, opened scoring in the 21st minute through Pillars striker,
Gambo Mohammed, before Mba made it 2-0 for Nigeria on the half hour.
Dangerman,
Tiecoura Coulibaly reduced the deficit for the visiting Ivorians on 45 minutes
to end the first half 2-1.
Mba
completed his brace in the 51st minute, four minutes after he missed a big
chance.
Second-half
substitute Ifeanyi Edeh completed the rout when he slotted home the fourth goal
in the 80th minute, again with Mba involved in the goal.
The
Ivorians finished the game with nine men after two of their players were sent
off for dangerous play in the second period.
