Kaduna fans were treated to a football fest as the full capacity Stadium saw Brown Ideye grab a brace and further goals from Newcastle United's Shola Ameobi and Emmanuel Emenike ensured Nigeria got an emphatic win.


Stephen Keshi was however not happy his team couldn't keep a clean sheet in the encounter as he expressed confidence this anomalies will be rectified.

"Every could would want a clean sheet especially if he is four nil up. I wasn't happy we conceded that goal, but we will try and fix that area up.


"We are ready for the next round of the African World Cup qualifiers. I don't have any preferences. You have to face what is in front of you. Any country that we draw is good enough for me."

"There were a lot of positives from this game, we've learnt a lot and moving forward we'll take care of areas we feel should be taken care of." he added.

Nigeria will know their foes for the next round of the Africa zone of the Fifa 2014 World Cup when they draws are conducted on 16th September.
