After a goalless first leg in Ghana, the Joloff Derby was decided by Thomas Partey’s early strike, with help from an error by Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho.
William Troost-Ekong’s penalty drew Nigeria level on the night but the Black Stars saw out their away-goal advantage to qualify, having missed out on the World Cup in Russia four years ago.
The failure to qualify was the Super Eagles’ first since 2006.
