Super Eagles Fall To Defeat Against Portugal In Lisbon

Portugal rounded up their preparation for the World Cup with a hard fought 2-1 win over Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

They took the lead in the 23rd minute when Pedro Neto took advantage of some slack defending from Nigeria to fire a low effort past Maduka Okoye.

Nigeria drew level in the 37th minute when Akor Adams showed good strength to get on to a long ball from Okoye, and raced on to a lay off by Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to draw Nigeria level.

Upon assumption for the second half, Portugal made seven changes and immediately dominated and they got rewarded with a second goal in 75 minute from Francisco Conceição.

His goal ended up as the winner with Nigeria failing to carve a way back into the game for the second time.
