Prior to tomorrow’s AFCON warm-up match against Guinea, the Super Eagles defeated a local club in Dubai 12-0 in a test match.
Jerrymusa.com reports that Ademola Lookman scored four goals; Victor Osimhen and Moses Simon each scored two; and Sadiq Umar and Ahmed Musa, the captain, also found the net.
In addition, there were two own goals as the AFCON-bound Super Eagles put too much pressure on the opponents. At halftime, the African champs, who had won three times, led 6-0.
The true test will come the day before they go for Nigeria, when they play a last warm-up match against fellow AFCON finalists Guinea.
As he attempted to assemble the finest squad to begin their 2023 AFCON campaign a week today, coach Jose Peseiro used a number of substitutes in Abidjan, against Equatorial Guinea. Both games will take place in private, away from spectators and the press.
Super Eagles Starting Lineup: Ahmed Musa, Sadiq Umar, Victor Osimhen, Francis Uzoho, Zaidu Sanusi, Ola Aina, Chidozie Awaziem, Calvin Bassey, Frank Onyeka, Joe Aribo, and Ademola Lookman.
