Rabiu Ali netted the winner as Nigeria beat Benin Republic 1-0 to book a date with Ghana in the final.
The 36-year-old playmaker determined the outcome when he netted the winner on 11th minute against a 10-man squirrel team.
Nigeria would enjoy playing against the squirrels as its the 2nd time they are knocking them out in a competition.
Stat watch--Fc Ifeanyiuba goalkeeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa has kept cleansheets in all four games he's been in between the post in this competition, Terrific!!
Plateau United winger,Peter Eneji is the joint top-scorer in this competition with two goals to his name. He would be hoping to add a few to his tally when Nigeria faces Ghana on Sunday.
The Super Eagles are the only team yet to concede a goal amongst the teams that got to the competition.
Ghana are also through to the finals to face Nigeria after they defeated Niger Republic on Thursday night as goals from both halves were enough to see them through to the final on Sunday to determine the Champion of West Africa.
It might interest you to know that Nigeria had earlier beaten Ghana 2-0 in the last group match.
