Ghana’s legendary midfielder, ABEDI PELE, played a crucial role in the 1992 AFCON semi-final, leaving Nigeria helpless.
Despite taking the lead early through Adepoju Mutiu’s header, Nigeria struggled to contain Abedi’s brilliance.
Just before halftime, he equalized, shifting the momentum in Ghana’s favor. Prince Polley later secured the win, sending Ghana to the final.
Ex-Nigerian striker SAMSON SIASIA admitted Abedi single-handedly dominated the match.
Although Ghana lost the final to Ivory Coast on penalties, Abedi’s performance earned him the tournament’s best player award and later the CAF Player of the Year title.
