And reflecting on the encounter, Lookman described the atmosphere inside the Baba Yara stadium which hosted the derby between the Black Stars and the Eagles as amazing.
He also described his debut for Nigeria as beautiful.
“Making my debut for the Super Eagles was beautiful,” the Leicester forward, on loan from RB Leipzig told Completesports.com in an exclusive chat after the team’s training session on Saturday.
“The atmosphere in the Kumasi stadium was really amazing I’ve never seen anything like it.”
And looking forward to the second leg on Tuesday, the former Everton player said it will be another difficult tie but posited that the Eagles will be ready for the clash.
“It’s going to be another tough game, another battle, another fight but we will be ready.”
The Eagles need an outright win to secure a seventh appearance at the FIFA World Cup.
A score draw will be enough for the Black Stars to qualify for a fourth World Cup since their debut in 2006.

Welcome to Nigeria brotherman. May you never regret choosing Nigeria. Heaven bless all dual nationality Super Eagles players.
Amen to your prayer. But I am curious what your name means in your native language.
I dey tell you, you can give that name different meaning and they are:
1. Under the spell of a woman
2. Sheet full plate
3. Noise full plate
Those are the meaning
I’m sure the person asking that question is most probably from the same tribe.
Nicely said brodaman. Thumbs up. We are Nigerians and God made it so. No regret.
It will definitely be a score draw I see 1-1score draw in this encounter.
Yes, it’s a healthy and brotherly rivalry. The two teams should not have been paired because both teams could represent the continent well at the WC. Come tuesday, the mighty Black Stars will defy all odds to qualify for the world cup.
Not at all as the lord lives eagles will qualify
Senegal and Egypt will not represent Africa well right? Where we have two top Africa players. What of Cameroon and Algeria
Well, Egypt didn’t really achieve anything in their previous WC appearances.
It will be very sweet if Ghana could repeat the 7-0 5-1 and the 4-1 scorelines
Scoreline of useless friendly games lol. This is World Cup qualifier. In 2002, it ended in 3-0 spanking!
Ghana has eliminated Nigeria in most competitive competitions in Afcon
