The Super Eagles of Nigeria have capped off an impressive 2026 Unity Cup campaign by cruising to a comfortable 3-0 victory over the Reggae Boyz of Jamaica in the final, Footynaija.com reports.
Both teams entered the encounter full of confidence after convincingly seeing off their respective semi-final opponents. Nigeria won 2-0 against Zimbabwe while Jamaica beat India by the same scoreline to also reach the final.
However, it was the Super Eagles that took the initiative with Alhassan Yusuf netting a brace either side of Terem Moffi’s header to continue their historic dominance over the Reggae Boyz in the tournament.
