Unity Cup: Azeez fires double as Super Eagles overpower Zimbabwe 

Femi Azeez scored twice on his debut as the Super Eagles defeated the Warriors of Zimbabwe 2-0 in the semi-final of the Unity Cup on Tuesday night.

Azeez opened the scoring for Nigeria with a superb shot from outside the box in the sixth minute after he was set up by Terem Moffi.

The Super Eagles dominated the first half, limiting their opponents to few chances.

Philip Otele, Alhassan Yusuf and Moffi missed chances to double Nigeria’s lead before the break.

Zimbabwe took control of the game in the second half, but the Super Eagles defence stood up to the pressure.

The Super Eagles got their second goal two minutes after the hour mark, with Azeez slotting home inside the box from a superb pass by Otele.

Arthur Okonkwo made a superb save 20 minutes from time to deny Zimbabwe a way back into the game.

Nigeria will face either India or Jamaica in the final at The Valley on Saturday.
