WARRI Wolves’ Ekigho Ehiosun was the hero yesterday as Nigeria began its defence of the West Africa Football Union (WAFU) Cup with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over the Lone Stars of Liberia.

It was the only game of the day as the 2011 edition of the competition got underway in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Ehiosun, drafted from Nigeria’s Olympic team, scored the only goal with a poacher’s touch 24 minutes into the first half to snatch the three points in a tournament that has now been reduced to a six-nation affair.
