Watch as Nigerian fans reacted with anger after their side failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in 16 years following a 1-1 draw with Ghana.

A Thomas Partey strike in the 10th minute gave the visitors the advantage and, while the Super Eagles managed to equalise through a William Troost-Ekong penalty in the 22nd minute, they ultimately failed to find a winner and the Black Stars progressed on the away-goals rule.

After the game, angry home fans stormed the pitch and damaged the stadium.
