The Super Eagles of Nigeria emerged victorious against Mozambique with a 3-2 scoreline in a thrilling encounter in Portugal.

The feat marks Nigeria’s first victory in a friendly game in five years.

Nigeria had between then and yesterday’s game played fifteen friendly matches. But they lost seven and managed to draw eight in that period.

Nigeria’s attention now shifts to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho’s Crocodiles and Zimbabwe.

The Super Eagles will play Lesotho first – at home – on November 13, 2023, before the team jets out to battle the Warriors of Zimbabwe three days later.
