Peseiro on ending Super Eagles winless run
Going into this fixture, the Super Eagles were winless in 14 Friendly games, and after the victory, head coach Peseiro shared his thoughts.
“I am happy because after 15 matches, we have finally won a game,” Peseiro said after the game.
“We have not won a friendly game in the last five years. We have had eight defeats and seven draws but today, the result was good.”
Nigeria got their victory the hard way, going behind, before coming back thanks to goals fromTerem Moffi, Moses Simon, and Frank Onyeka.
