Nigeria fought back and got a deserved equaliser late in the first half with Abubakar Ibrahim converting from the spot after Ahmad Ghali was brought down inside the box.
Morocco regained the lead from the spot early in the second half after a Flying Eagles player handled the ball in the box
However substitute Emeka Chinonso saved Nigeria’s blushes by netting the equaliser deep into stoppage time. (NAN)
