Nigeria emerged top of Group A with four points from two matches in a three-team group that included Ghana and Benin Republic. Aliyu Zubairu team opened their campaign with a 1–1 draw against Ghana after coming from behind, then delivered a dominant 4–1 comeback win over Benin Republic in their second outing.
