The Super Eagles of Nigeria recorded its first win in over a dozen friendly contests on Monday evening against 10-man Mambas of Mozambique in a five-goal thriller to end their international break.
Having encountered several defeats tallying to nine in their past 17 friendly ties, the Eagles broke the four-year-long jinx with a slim 3-2 victory over Mozambique at the Estadio Municipal de Albufeira, Portugal.
The last time Nigeria ever won a friendly game was in 2019 when Paul Onuachu’s first-minute strike stunned the Pharaohs of Egypt.
