MVP Eneji reveals pep talk that spurred Nigeria vs. Ghana

Coach Salisu Yusuf delivered a morale-boosting 'chat' to inspire Nigeria to defeat archrivals Ghana 2-0, according to Moses Eneji.

The Super Eagles had failed to get goals against Mali and Guinea as their opening fixtures in the competition ended goalless. And, needing a win to progress to the semifinals of the tournament, Eneji was instrumental as they saw off Maxwell Konadu's men at the Cape Coast Stadium.

In a clinical second half display, the winger wrapped up the victory after Anthony Okpotu's opener, and credits their sharpness in the final third to their coach's pre-match pep talk.

"I feel very happy today and I'm honoured to represent my country," Eneji told Goal .

Coming into the competition with a medal after helping Plateau United to their first Nigeria Professional Football League victory, the forward also aim to add the WAFU Cup of Nations medal to his cabinet.

"Well, I Pray God grant us the grace to get to the final of the WAFU Cup of Nations,: he said.
