Despite the disappointment of conceding late, the Super Eagles produced another encouraging display under Chelle. Nigeria showed attacking quality, resilience, and control against a European opponent away from home.
Goals from Moses Simon and Paul Onuachu highlighted the visitors’ offensive threat, while several younger players also gained valuable international experience.
The result extends Nigeria’s unbeaten run and provides further positives as the team continues preparations for upcoming international assignments. While the Super Eagles will feel they deserved more from the encounter, the performance demonstrated the progress being made under the current coaching staff. (Naija News)
