Jamaica and Nigeria clash in the Unity Cup final at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium this afternoon.
The two nations are the original founders of this international football tournament, so it’s quite fitting they meet in the final as the Super Eagles look to defend the crown they last won over two decades ago.
Eric Challe’s side overcame rivals Ghana on Wednesday night in a game of two halves. Cyriel Dessers and an own goal from Razak Simpson had Nigeria in dreamland going into the break, but the performance level dropped significantly in the second half.

Jamaica – now managed by Steve McClaren – did let a 2-0 lead slip against Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday but came out on top in a five-goal thriller thanks to an injury time penalty from Richard King.
