The Super eagles of Nigeria on Monday, got their very first Victory in a friendly match in 5 years as goals by Terem Moffi, Frank Onyeka and Moses Simon steered Nigeria to a 3-2 victory over 10-man Mozambique in their international friendly encounter in Portimäo, Portugal. The hard fought victory in Portugal was the first for the Super Eagles in a friendly match in 55 months, which dates back to March 2019 when Paul Onuachu’s first minute goal accounted for the defeat of seven-time African champions, Egypt, at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba. The Mambas got in front with a shock goal after only six minutes when Catamo dragged the ball past goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, who anticipated the ball in a different direction. France -based striker Terem Moffi then equalized in the 19th minute, when he had the last laugh as the Mozambican defenders threw themselves at every shot in their penalty area. Midfielder Frank Onyeka put Nigeria in front at the half hour mark, when his measured shot from the edge of the box sailed into the net. The Super Eagles, who have adopted the battle cry ‘Let’s Do It Again’ for their quest for a fourth Africa Cup of Nations title come Cote d’Ivoire early next year, dominated afterwards and got a third goal when the irrepressible Moses Simon netted from the penalty spot in added time in the first half. The southern Africans were bullish in the second period, unhindered by the numerical disadvantage following a red card to one of their players in the first half, and got a second goal through Bangal with 10 minutes into the closing half. Victory means the Eagles have established a winning mentality ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches starting in November, as well as the 43th Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
