SCORENigeria lists the five players who are likely to play key roles for the Flying Eagles to successfully defend their WAFU B championship against arch-rivals Ghana tonight in Lome, Togo.
5 Ebenezer Harcourt
He is now the team’s No 1 goalkeeper after he toppled the more experienced Nathaniel Nwosu by the team’s second game vs Cote d’Ivoire. He has proved his worth between the sticks in the team’s march to tonight’s championship with a string of big saves.

3. Bidemi Amole
He was tipped to be one of the big stars at this competition but has yet to justify such rating. But what is evident is that he has shown through some glimpses his star quality. Could he tonight bring his star quality to dim the Black Satellites of Ghana?
