Super Eagles of Nigeria has again lost one-nil to Algeria in an international friendly played Thursday night at the Wörthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt, Austria.
Ramy Bensebaini’s goal in the sixth minute of the game secured another victory for the Desert Foxes over the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
He pounced on a poor clearance off a corner by the Nigerian defence as he makes the score 1-0.
Both the Eagles and the Desert Foxes had been redundant all year due to the coronavirus pandemic and Thursday’s tie was a good warm up for the Afcon qualifiers ahead.
Algeria, apart from getting a back-to-back win over Nigeria, has also caught up in terms of head-to-head as both countries are on nine wins respectively.
Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr made some substitutions in the second half to salvage a draw but the result ended in favour of the two times African Champions.
Mikel Agu replaced Frank Onyeka, Moses Simon came on for Samuel Kalu, Kelechi Iheanacho for Paul Onuachu, Kelvin Akpoguma for Tyronne Ebuehi, while Ahmed Musa came on for Samuel Chukwueze.
Another substitution made by the Franco-German gaffer also saw Samson Tijani replacing Alex Iwobi.
All these did not yield any fruitful result for the Super Eagles. They will be up against Tunisia on October 13.
