CHAN 2022: Niger see off Cameroon, confirms appointment with Ghana

Coach Saidou Alioum’s team was completely blunt against their Niger counterparts as they failed to hit the target over the 90 minutes of the contest despite creating a number of half chances.

Ousseini Badamassi scored Niger’s lone goal on the night in the 70th minute when he picked the bottom corner of Marcelin Mbahbi’s net from a free-kick won after Junior Sime brought him down on the edge of the box.

With the result, Harouna Doula Gabde’s Niger advance to the last eight in which they will face the Black Galaxies of Ghana at the same venue Niger conquered Cameroon to earn a second quarter-final ticket.
