Captain Musa Muhammed whipped in an excellent corner kick from the left and Obinna Nwobodo did well to connect with a header when backpedaling from the goal, exemplifying pin-point accuracy as the Nigerians took the lead, somewhat against the run of play.
Nigeria came close to scoring a second moments later but last-ditch defending saved the day for the Black Satellites.
Ghana were, however, not going down without a fight and on the half hour Yaw Yeboah fired in a brilliant free kick which the Nigeria goalkeeper, Joshua Enaholo, did well to push away for a corner.
