Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers opened the scoring for Nigeria against Ghana.
The Ibrox forward, who scored 29 goals last season, was on target after just 14 minutes in the international friendly fixture.
Sodiq Ismail battled to win the ball back for his country on the right wing before driving forward and crossing into the centre of the box.

Dessers controlled the ball well with his chest after an awkward bounce before he casually slotted home.
The Rangers striker, 30, then raced over to Nigeria supporters at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Clearly thrilled to have notched his third goal for his country, Dessers hugged supporters after jumping over advertising boards.

Things would get even better for Nigeria just five minutes later as a Razak Simpson own goal doubled their advantage.
Nigeria will take on Russia in a second friendly during the international break. The match will be played on Friday, June 6.
Dessers' latest strike comes after he hit his 50th goal for Rangers in the 3-1 win over Dundee United before the end of the season.
"We spoke briefly about it and obviously to hit the 50 with a penalty was going to be a good feeling," he said.
"So I have to thank Tav because normally he’s the number one taker and he does it very well. Will I tell him it’s now my job? I don’t think it will be as easy as that!
"I think it says a lot about Tav as a captain that he made that gesture. Because we all know that Tav also loves his goals. He loves his set-pieces, penalties, free-kicks and corner kicks. He takes them amazingly well. So to give that one to me speaks for him as a person and as a captain. I was really thankful to him for that."
