SUNDAY Mba again destroyed Cote d’Ivoire on Saturday in a 2014 CHAN qualifier just as he did at the AFCON in February. The Super Eagles took a massive 4-1 advantage to Abidjan with Mba grabbing a brace and assisting in the two other goals by the home team inside a packed Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna. The Super Eagles, aiming to qualify for the first time for the CHAN for local league players, opened scoring in the 21st minute through Pillars striker, Gambo Mohammed, before Mba made it 2-0 for Nigeria on the half hour. Dangerman, Tiecoura Coulibaly reduced the deficit for the visiting Ivorians on 45 minutes to end the first half 2-1. Mba completed his brace in the 51st minute, four minutes after he missed a big chance. Second-half substitute Ifeanyi Edeh completed the rout when he slotted home the fourth goal in the 80th minute, again with Mba involved in the goal. The Ivorians finished the game with nine men after two of their players were sent off for dangerous play in the second period.
