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.

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.
