Nigeria are out of the 2019 West Africa Football Union (Wafu) Cup of Nations Cup after losing to Cape Verde 3-2 via penalties in Saturday's quarter-final encounter.
The defeat comes as a disappointment for Imama Amapakabo’s men who failed to win any of their two games and had the chance of winning the plate competition, after bowing to a 2-1 loss against Togo in their opening cup fixture last Sunday.
Lobi Stars midfielder Sikiru Alimi fired ahead Nigeria at the Stade Lat Dior after the hour mark but the lead was cancelled out in the closing minutes of the game.
